Celtic Search for Stability as Manager Market Opens
Celtic’s turbulent season has already sparked speculation over who will take charge next campaign, with the club expected to appoint a new permanent manager this summer.
Martin O’Neill’s second interim spell has failed to steady the ship in the same way as earlier in the season, with Celtic now sitting third in the Scottish Premiership, five points behind leaders Hearts following defeat to Dundee United.
That downturn in form, combined with multiple managerial changes this season, has led bookmakers to open the market on who will takeover from O'Neill next.
Bet365's latest market goes 6/4 that it will be former player Robbie Keane who takes over as the next Celtic manager.

| Robbie Keane | 6/4 | 40.00% |
| Jens Berthel Askou | 3/1 | 25.00% |
| Roberto Martinez | 6/1 | 14.29% |
| Craig Bellamy | 8/1 | 11.11% |
| Steve Clarke | 8/1 | 11.11% |
| Christian Ilzer | 10/1 | 9.09% |
| Martin O’Neill | 12/1 | 7.69% |
| Ange Postecoglou | 14/1 | 6.67% |
Keane Emerges as Leading Candidate
Robbie Keane’s position at the top of the betting suggests bookmakers believe Celtic may opt for a familiar name with strong ties to the club and British football.
His profile as a high-energy, attacking-minded coach could appeal to a fanbase eager for a reset after a disrupted campaign.
At 6/4, the market indicates a clear edge over the rest of the field.
What the expert says...
European and International Options in the Mix
Jens Berthel Askou sits second in the betting at 3/1, representing a more progressive and potentially long-term appointment.
Roberto Martinez at 6/1 offers a high-profile international option, while Craig Bellamy and Steve Clarke, both priced at 8/1, provide contrasting managerial styles and experience.
Further down the list, Christian Ilzer (10/1) and a potential return for Martin O’Neill (12/1) reflect the wide range of possibilities still under consideration.
Ange Postecoglou appears at 14/1, and while a return seems unlikely, his inclusion highlights the impact of his previous tenure at the club.
His success during his time at Celtic ensures he remains a popular figure among supporters, even if bookmakers see a reunion as an outside possibility.
