Fran Alonso is "set to leave Celtic" after reportedly agreeing a deal with American side Houston Dash.

This is according to outlet The Equalizer who claim the club have struck a deal with the Hoops to make the Spaniard their new head coach.

Alonso has been linked away from the Scottish Cup holders since last month in which he was touted as the front runner to take over Mexican side Monterrey.

The 47-year-old joined Celtic in 2020 and since then has led the club to two Scottish Cups, a League Cup and two second-place finishes in the SWPL.

Meanwhile, Celtic have released a statement confirming their stance on the recent European Super League court ruling, ruling out any involvement in the competition.

It comes after the rebel clubs involved won their case at the Court of Justice on Thursday.

And the Scottish champions have reaffirmed their desire to stay within the UEFA framework.

A club statement read: "Celtic Football Club has noted today's judgement delivered by the European Court of Justice.

"The resolution regarding the framework for prior authorization of other competitions refers to outdated UEFA statutes that were already amended in June 2022.

"We must be clear that this does not in any way endorse or approve the so-called 'Super League' project.

"Celtic plays an important, leading role within the European Club Association framework and as a club, we are fully committed to working through the ECA, alongside our fellow European clubs to uphold the values that define European football.

"We can only achieve our objectives through the strong partnership ECA enjoys with UEFA.

"The wider European football community is not supportive of the ESL, and Celtic, like many other clubs, will continue to promote the interests and protection of football’s broader family through the ECA and UEFA."
