 Gordon Strachan is expected to be leave Celtic at the end of the season and SkyBet are already betting on who replace the canny Scot in charge at Celtic Park. A former player is the hot favourite to land the job.

SkyBet offer just 4/6 that he is still in charge of Celtic at the beginning of next season whilst he is 11/10 to still have his job. He has made no secret of the fact he wants to manage in the Premiership again and that is likely to be his destination.
Keane Could Make Return To Celtic As Manager
Roy Keane, who had a stint at Celtic after he left Manchester United, is the 3/1 favourite with SkyBet to land the job after Strachan leaves. If Strachan goes in the summer as expected then Keane will be available as he is not currently contracted to any club so it seems ideal for all parties.
Two Scottish Managers Being Lined Up
The other two managers will single figure prices are two Scottish candidates, Mark McGhee and Owen Coyle, they can be backed at 7/1 and 8/1 respectively with SkyBet. Mark McGhee is currently in charge of Motherwell having also managed the likes of Millwall and Wolves whilst Owen Coyle is doing a great job in the Championship with Burnley.
