Postecoglou the early favourite to replace Rodgers

Ange Postecoglou is the early favourite to become the Next Permanent Celtic Manager following Brendan Rodgers resignation on Monday evening. Postecoglou can be backed at 15/8 at the time of writing, though he was odds-on at 17/20 when the market first opened.

If he is appointed it will be the the 60-year-old's second stint as Celtic manager having been in charge at Parkhead for two seasons from 2021 to 2023, winning five trophies including back-to-back Scottish Premiership titles and a domestic treble in his final season.

Postecoglou had further success with Tottenham, winning the Europa League earlier this year before he was appointed Nottingham Forest manager this season only to be sacked after just 39 days!

Another former Celtic boss, veteran manager Martin O'Neill has been put in interim charge at the club and he can be backed at 10/1 to get the job on a permanent basis.

The 73-year-old was last in management in 2019 - ironically at Nottingham Forest - but was sacked after just six months in charge with the club finishing ninth in the Championship.

Other early contenders for the job include Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna at 5/2, current Portugal boss Roberto Martinez at 15/2, and former Celtic favourite Robbie Keane at 9/1.

To be Next Permanent Celtic Manager:

- Ange Postecoglou 15/8- Kieran McKenna 5/2- Shaun Maloney 6/1- Roberto Martinez 15/2- Robbie Keane 9/1- Kjetil Knutsen 9/1- Martin O'Neill 10/1- Pascal Jansen 10/1- BAR 16/1
