Celtic are on the lookout for a new manager following the shock resignation of head coach Brendan Rodgers on Monday evening, with ex-Parkhead boss Martin O’Neill placed in temporary charge. Departing on the back of a damaging 3-1 defeat to Hearts at the weekend, Rodgers leaves with the club eight points off the pace in the Scottish Premiership, with a huge Premier Sports Cup semi-final against rivals Rangers to come on Sunday. Following the announcement of the 52-year-old’s departure from Parkhead, the club released a statement which said: “Brendan leaves Celtic with our thanks for the role he has played during a period of continued success for the Club and we wish him further success in the future. The process to appoint a new permanent manager is underway, and the Club will update supporters further on this as soon as possible.” But who is the early favourite to be the next manager at Celtic?
