Celtic will be on the lookout for their next permanent boss in the months to come, with current boss Martin O’Neill adamant that his time at the club will come to a close in the summer.
The 73-year-old manager has twice taken charge of the club this season. Stepping into the breach after the resignation of Brendan Rodgers in October, he returned to the club on a deal until the end of the season when Wilfried Nancy’s short spell in charge was brought to an end in the new year after a 3-1 defeat by Rangers.
Currently six points adrift of league leaders Hearts, O’Neill will be hoping he can claw back the deficit and lead Celtic to a fifth successive - and history-making - 56th league title and leave the club on a high. But who are the favourites to succeed him this summer? Here are the latest odds for the next permanent Celtic manager.*
