Celtic boss Wilfried Nancy has been dismissed from his role as head coach after the dismal 3-1 defeat to Rangers at the weekend left them six points adrift in the race for the Scottish Premiership title.
The 48-year-old left MLS outfit Columbus Crew just a month ago to take the reins at Celtic, replacing interim manager Martin O’Neill, but became the first manager in the history of the club to lose all four of his opening games - their worst run since 1978.
He would achieve wins over Aberdeen and Livingston, but defeats to Dundee United and Motherwell, followed by the crushing home defeat to their fiercest rivals, saw the Celtic board bring an end to the Frenchman’s time in charge of the club after just 36 days.
The shortest managerial tenure in the Hoops’ history, we look at the early favourites for the Parkhead job. Here are the latest odds for the next permanent Celtic manager.*

2. Henrik Larsson - 33/1

3. David Gray - 33/1
The Hibs boss has made a positive impression in his first managerial role at Easter Road, leading his side to a top three finish in his debut season. A move to Celtic seems unlikely, but he's priced at 33/1 to make a shock move from Leith. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
4. John O'Shea - 25/1
The former Sunderland and Manchester United man had an interim spell in charge of Republic Of Ireland, but has not managed at club level yet. Highly-rated as a coach, O'Shea is 25/1 to be the next Celtic manager. | Charles McQuillan/Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
