Celtic are once again assessing their managerial options, with betting markets updating as the club weighs up its next permanent appointment.
Celtic find themselves back in familiar territory.
Following the departure of Wilfried Nancy, the club has turned to Martin O’Neill on an interim basis until the end of the season while longer-term plans are considered.

Roberto Martinez Favourite To Be Next Celtic Manager
The current favourite for the Celtic job is Roberto Martinez, who heads the betting at 2/1.
The Portugal national football team manager is expected to become available after the World Cup, placing him firmly in the frame should Celtic opt to wait before making a permanent appointment.
Appointing Martínez would represent a significant statement of intent.
His experience at international level and familiarity with managing high-profile dressing rooms would mark a clear step up in profile, and securing his services would be viewed as a major coup.
The timing, however, is key — with Celtic needing to balance short-term stability under interim management against the possibility of landing a candidate of rare calibre later in the year.
Club Legend Martin O’Neill Remains In Contention
Second in the betting at 7/2 is Martin O’Neill, whose return to the Celtic dugout on an interim basis has inevitably fuelled speculation about a permanent appointment.
O’Neill is a familiar and trusted figure at Celtic, and his willingness to step in once again has been viewed internally as a stabilising move rather than a short-term gamble.
The question for Celtic is whether stability becomes a solution in itself.
O’Neill’s experience, authority and understanding of the club count heavily in his favour, particularly if fortunes continue to improve during his interim spell.
However, the club must also weigh the appeal of continuity against the desire to reset with a longer-term appointment, especially with higher-profile candidates also under consideration.
O’Neill also features in the next Leicester manager odds, highlighting his continued relevance despite his advancing years.
Commentary: SportsCasting spokesman Shane Orton reacted to the ‘Next Celtic Manager Betting Odds’ saying:
“Celtic are operating in a period of uncertainty, and that inevitably shapes how this decision is viewed. Roberto Martínez is clearly an attractive option. He brings international pedigree, experience at the highest level and the sense of a statement appointment. If Celtic are prepared to wait until he becomes available, it would signal real ambition and a desire to reset with a higher-profile figure.”
“At the same time, Martin O’Neill’s position in the market reflects more than sentiment. His reputation at Celtic is unmatched in the modern era, and his willingness to step in again speaks to the trust that still exists on both sides. In moments like this, legacy matters. O’Neill represents stability, authority and an understanding of the club that few candidates can match, which is why his name continues to carry weight in the betting.”
