- Wilfried Nancy sacked after six defeats in eight games as Celtic boss
- Former interim manager Martin O’Neill favourite to return permanently
- Ange Postecoglou 5/1 for shock second spell at Celtic Park
Nancy Shown the Door After Historic Losing Run
Celtic have parted company with manager Wilfried Nancy just six weeks into his tenure, following a dismal 3-1 home defeat to arch-rivals Rangers on Saturday.
Nancy had endured a nightmare start to life in Glasgow, becoming the first manager in club history to lose his opening two games in charge.
Despite a brief lift with wins over Aberdeen and Livingston, defeats to Motherwell and Rangers sealed his fate.
The club also confirmed the departure of head of football operations Paul Tisdale, as part of a wider shake-up behind the scenes.
Nancy's start to life at Celtic saw his side suffer four losses in a row for the first time since Jock Stein’s side in 1978 and the hierarchy decided to act swiftly amid growing fan unrest.
Attention now turns to who will be next at Celtic Park, with all the odds available with BetVictor.
Next Celtic Manager Odds
BetVictor now offer a fresh ‘Next Permanent Celtic Manager’ market, with Martin O’Neill priced at 11/8 to take over full-time.
O’Neill won seven of his eight games during a recent interim spell and remains a popular figure with the Celtic Park faithful.
| Next Celtic Manager | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Martin O'Neill | 11/8 | 42.1% |
| Shaun Maloney | 7/4 | 36.4% |
| Ange Postecoglou | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Robbie Keane | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Lee Carsley | 12/1 | 7.7% |
What’s Next for Celtic?
Celtic now turn their attention to appointing a permanent boss before the January transfer window opens.
With domestic trophies still to fight for, and a title challenge slipping, the board are under pressure to make the right call quickly.
The decision is made more complex by Ange Postecoglou's name in the mix, with reports in Scotland suggesting the former boss is open to a return if his Premier League project falters.
However, at 5/1, that remains more speculative than likely for now.
