Ex-Man Utd boss backed into odds-on favourite for next Celtic manager

He has overtaken Neil Lennon and Rafa Benitez in the market.

David Moyes has been heavily backed into odds-on favourite to take over as the next permanent Celtic manager, following a flurry of bets.

The ex-Manchester United manager has been cut from 5/1 into 10/11, with money continuing to pile in on Moyes heading to Parkhead.

That’s due to 38% of all bets in the market over the last 24 hours being placed on the Scot, comfortably more than the rest of the market.

Elsewhere, Toon gaffer Rafa Benitez is second favourite at 4/1, followed by current interim manager Neil Lennon at the same price.

Michael O’Neill follows next at 12/1, followed by Andre Villas-Boas (16/1), Chris Hughton (16/1) and Roberto Martinez (18/1).

Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek: "David Moyes' Manchester United contract finally expires this summer, but while the Scotsman's tenure at Old Trafford didn't quite culminate in glory, a trip north of the border may prove more successful.

"With an unprecedented 10 consecutive Premiership titles on the agenda for Celtic, Moyes has a chance to write his name into Scottish footballing folklore."
