Gavin Strachan is leaving Celtic for West Bromwich Albion, where he will join James Morrison's backroom staff in the Championship (1). Strachan, son of former Celtic manager Gordon, has been a first-team coach at Parkhead through multiple managerial regimes. His departure comes as part of the summer reshaping under Martin O'Neill, who has already secured the Premiership and Scottish Cup double and is now turning his attention to the transfer window and his coaching setup.
