Postecoglou to Make a Celtic Comeback?
Ange Postecoglou's return to Celtic would be one of the most dramatic stories of the season and the betting experts are starting to price it as a serious possibility.
The former Tottenham and Nottingham Forest boss left Celtic in June 2023 after delivering five trophies in two seasons, including a domestic treble in 2022/23.
After leaving Forest, the 2/1 odds suggest a return is not out of the question, particularly given Postecoglou's emotional connection with the Glasgow club.
O’Neill & Maloney Lead Interim Setup
Martin O’Neill, who won three league titles during his first spell in charge of Celtic between 2000 and 2005, has returned in a surprise interim role alongside former player Shaun Maloney.
Both men are now in the running to take the job permanently, each priced at 3/1.
A return for Neil Lennon (5/1) another former manager with a deep history at the club is also being discussed, while Erik ten Hag (6/1) and Gareth Southgate (8/1) are priced longer as more speculative options.
