Kenwright was said to be “seething” over stories that there is uncertainty over Moyes’ future.

Boardroom sources insist there is a new five-year deal worth £10million waiting for the Scot in the summer.

Last week Moyes said: “It may seem strange to be preparing for another season with just one year on your contract.

“But maybe that is a question for the chairman.

“I haven’t actually been offered a new contract and nothing has been mentioned about talks.” Moyes also revealed that he is in the dark about how much he will have to spend in the transfer market.

The apparent impasse has alerted Celtic, who are likely to part company with Gordon Strachan.

Moyes, a former Celtic player, would be a popular choice to take over.

All this has left Kenwright angry and bemused, according to a boardroom insider.

He will be loath to lose Moyes, but will demand some straight answers after today’s visit of Newcastle.
