Next Celtic manager?

Celtic will be looking for a new manager this summer after it was announced Ronny Deila will be leaving the club at the end of the season.

Deila has announced that he will leave the club in June and former boss Neil Lennon, who was replaced by the Norwegian in the summer of 2014, has already thrown his name into the mix, while former Celtic striker Charlie Nicholas thinks Roy Keane would be the ideal replacement.

But it’s former Manchester United manager David Moyes who currently leads Sky Bet’s next Celtic manager market.

Here we look at some of the potential contenders to take over at Celtic Park…

David Moyes

Sky Bet odds: 6/4

The Scot is the favourite with bookmakers to get the job – and is reportedly the board’s number one candidate. He started his playing career at Celtic in 1980 but left for Cambridge three years later. However, it is as a manager he is best known, managing Preston before a nine-year stint at Everton, which was followed by an ill-fated 10-month reign at Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson retired. The 52-year-old has been out of work since November when a stint as boss of Real Sociedad ended after 364 days.

“Everybody knows my time at Celtic was great. I was a young player and played with great players at Celtic. Celtic’s been a great love of mine. Who knows, who knows, I would never say never but obviously I’ve got ambitions to win things.” (Moyes – March 2016)

Neil Lennon

Sky Bet odds: 6/4

The 44-year-old would have his supporters, having largely made a good impression in a four-year reign with the Hoops which ended less than two years ago. A former captain, he guided them to three Premier Leagues and two Scottish Cups, as well as successive appearances in the group stages of the Champions League. The Northern Irishman is available after an unsuccessful 17-month spell with struggling Bolton – and has admitted he would be interested in a return to Celtic Park.

“I’ve never hid my affinity for the club. Would I like to go back? If the opportunity arose and I had the opportunity to speak to the board, then absolutely.” (Lennon – April 2016)

Roy Keane

Sky Bet odds: 6/1
