Celtic Boss Tony Mowbray watched his side go down to another defeat on Tuesday night as Celtic slipped to ten points behind their bitter rivals Rangers in the SPL title race, Mowbray joined the Parkhead Club in the summer after leaving West Brom but things  have not panned out they way he would have hoped so far this season as shown by the 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock on Tuesday. Celtic have been in poor form over the last few weeks which has seen them lose to the likes of Hibernian as well as Kilmarnock, so far Tony Mowbray has remained defiant vowing to take the defeats on the chin and keep going but he will know that he cannot afford to slip further behind Rangers.

Mowbray knows only too well that any Celtic Manager is judged against his success against Rangers in the domestic cup competitions as well as the Scottish Premier League, the Celtic faithful would be expecting their team to be at least on a par with their Glasgow rivals but at this moment in time they look a team short on confidence. It was a bust transfer deadline day for Mowbray as he tried to resurrect their season by bringing in the likes of Diomansy Kamara from Fulham and the marquee loan signing of Robbie Keane. Keane is a huge signing for Celtic and Scottish Football but he will need to produce the goods for Mowbray who has stuck his neck on the line for the Spurs player who is reportedly the highest paid player in Scottish Football history.

One bookmaker has opened up a market on whether or not Mowbray will last the season at Celtic Park and although at this stage Sky Bet are backing him to remain in the hot seat they are by no means certain at this stage, punters can currently get odds of 7/4 that Mowbray will not make it to the end of the SPL season. Those odds reflect the recent poor run at Celtic and the Mowbray will no that the upcoming fixtures could be crucial for his future at the club, the club have three games in a week coming up with away games against Aberdeen and Dunfirmline sandwiched by a game at home against Hearts. The under fire Manager will be hoping that his Celtic team are a few points closer to Rangers at the end of the week than they are now otherwise the speculation will increase with Celtic supporters growing inpatient.
