THE race to be the next manager of Celtic is OVER – at least according to one bookmakers.
That’s because gambling firm Coral have taken the step of SUSPENDING their market on the next manager of the Hoops – after a flood of bets on one man.
And that man is Columbus Crew boss Wilfried Nancy, who we told you exclusively YESTERDAY had emerged as the new frontrunner.
Prior to that, the hunt had alighted on the likes of Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna and Bodo/Glimt boss Kjetil Knutsen.
Landing both of those, though, is far from easy given the financial situation and landing the highly rated Nancy, who has just completed his MLS campaign out in Ohio, could be a far simpler prospect.
The bookmakers wrote: “Coral has, this evening, suspended betting on the next Celtic manager, with Wilfried Nancy as short as 1-10 before they pulled the plug.
