The next Celtic manager odds market is back online with the pressure mounting on Martin O’Neill.
Sunday’s 2-0 defeat to Falkirk has put O’Neill firmly back in the firing line with arch rivals Rangers closing in on top spot. First-half goals from Ethan Ross and Scott Tanser condemned the Bhoys to a second SPL loss of the season.
The Gers are four points adrift of the Hoops but have a game in-hand. Not only that, O’Neill’s poor showing on the continent has seen the former Leicester gaffer earn plenty of criticism via social media.
Next Celtic Manager Odds: Neil Lennon Favoured To Return
Neil Lennon is the 3/1 favourite in the next Celtic manager odds market here at BetVictor. The club legend won five titles as a Bhoys player and five as manager and is currently in charge of Scottish Premiership side Dunfermline Athletic.
Lennon knows the club inside out and it would not be a surprise to see him make a return to Celtic Park. Our traders clearly feel that the 55-year-old is a viable option with time seemingly running out on Martin O’Neill.
Shaun Maloney, Robbie Keane And Craig Bellamy In Contention For The Celtic Job
Having sparkled during his time with Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hungarian side Ferencvaros, Robbie Keane is a frontrunner in the next Crystal Palace manager odds market as well as Celtic’s. Keane is priced at 5/1 to replace Martin O’Neill and would surely consider a second-stint in the Green and White half of Glasgow.
Just ahead of Keane in the betting is Shaun Maloney at 4/1. The ex Wigan, Aston Villa and Celtic player is assistant to O’Neill and has been tipped as his successor for some time. Maloney endured a largely unsuccessful spell in charge of Hibs back in 2021-22 but has fine tuned his managerial attributes since then.
Another name who is linked with various club jobs is Wales boss Craig Bellamy. Like Keane and Maloney, the former Celtic forward knows the club well from his stint on loan in 2005 and would be well received by supporters. He is also 5/1.
