Next Celtic Manager Betting: Lambert the Early Favourite

The dust has barely settled on last nights 4-0 humbling at the hands of St Mirren but it looks like the removal of Tony Mowbray as Celtic boss is a fait accompli. As ever the bookies have not been slow to react in pulling a book together on who will take over the hotseat at Celtic Park.

Norwich boss Paul Lambert heads the field with SkyBet going 4/1 on the former Hoops midfielder taking on the role. Out of work Mark Hughes is next on the list at 8/1 with SkyBet. Current Újpest boss Willie McStay is just 5/1 with SkyBet but Irish firm Paddy Power go 40/1 on him re-establishing the family dynasty at Celtic.

Other names in the frame include John Hughes (13/2), John Collins (12/1), Roy Keane (12/1), David Moyes (14/1), Avram Grant (16/1) and Alan Curbishley (18/1), all at Paddy Power.

One name on the lips of many Hoops fans is Roy Hodgson, who can be backed at 22/1 with Paddy Power as can Slaven Bilic and David O’Leary.

If you think Mowbray can survive this latest embarrassment then have a go at SkyBet’s 2/1 that he’ll remain in the job until the end of the season. If not it’s currenty 1/3 (from 2/5 this morning and 5/6 last night) that he won’t.

Who do you think will be the next Celtic manager?
