Celtic are on the lookout for a new manager after Brendan Rodgers left the Scottish club last night. The Bhoys lost at the weekend to league leaders Hearts, leaving them eight points from first place. The club needed a change in order to try and get back into the title race, and there are some good managers in the running for the job.
Next Celtic manager betting odds
Kieran McKenna is the current favourite with betting sites following a dramatic Monday night, which saw Brendan Rodgers leave the club and Dermot Desmond release a statement criticising Rodgers and stating that the manager had created a toxic atmosphere.
McKenna was initially priced up as a 20/1 outsider to move north to Scotland, but concerted money throughout Tuesday has seen him cut to no bigger than Evens, with Paddy Power and bet365 making him odds-on to complete the switch.

Who are the favourites to be the next Celtic manager?
It’s Kieran McKenna who has proven most popular option in the early stages of betting for Celtic’s new manager. McKenna is generally accepted to have worked wonders in his time as Ipswich, taking them from League One to the Premier League, and not disgracing themselves despite ultimately suffering relegation. McKenna has been linked with a number of high-profile English Premier League jobs, and he may feel the time is right to move on, with Ipswich currently mid-table in the ultra-competitive Championship.
Postecoglou is the second favourite, with his odds drifting from odds-on to 6/1. In his former stint as Celtic manager, Postecoglou was in charge for two years, and managed 113 matches. He has a great record for The Bhoys, winning 83 games, and losing just 18. During his time in Glasgow, Postecoglou won the Scottish Premiership twice and also won three Scottish Cups. It was a highly successful period and they dominated Scottish football whilst he was in the dugout, so it’s no shock to see him in contention.
Current interim manager Martin O’Neill is also in the running for another permanent stint at Celtic. O’Neill was the manager of Celtic back in 2000 and managed the club for five years. He won seven trophies, including three league titles. The possible issue with this appointment would be the fact that this was 20 years ago. The 73 year old hasn’t managed a club since 2019, so it would feel like quite a risky appointment.
Kjetil Knutsen, Shaun Maloney and Robbie Keane are also in the running, but for now, it looks like the job could be McKenna’s sooner rather than later.
