Former Rangers and Scotland defender Russell Martin has been sacked as manager of Southampton after seeing his side demolished by Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur side 5-0 at the weekend.
With just one win in their opening 16 English Premier League games, the St Mary’s hierarchy took the decision to dispose of the former Rangers defender as their head coach after the Spurs thrashing left them nine points from safety in the English top tier.
So who will be the next man in the St Mary’s hot seat? Here, Sportscasting.com has provided the latest odds for the next Southampton manager, with a current Celtic hero and ex-Rangers favourite both named on the list.
Here are the latest odds for next Southampton manager:
9. Carlos Corberan - 5/1

10. Kasper Hjulmand - 2/1
Left his position as head coach of Denmark in July, Hjulmand has never managed in the EPL, having had the bulk of his club success during two spells with Nordsjælland. He's now one of the big favourites to take over at St Mary's. | Shaun Botterill Photo: Shaun Botterill
