Tony Mowbray has left his job as Manager of Celtic this afternoon after a dismal run of results which ended with a 4-0 defeat at the hands of St Mirren last night. Mowbray has endured a torrid time since taking over at Celtic Park at the start of the season and he has finally been put out of his misery after he and the club ‘parted company’ this afternoon, as the Sack Race reported he has been coming under increasing pressure from fans this season and the board have finally decided to act. The team are currently ten points behind their bitter rivals Rangers in the SPL having played two more games which is simply unacceptable for a team as big as Celtic.

The 4-0 defeat to st Mirren appears to have been the straw that has broken the camels back for Mowbray who had high ambitions when he took charge of the club in the Summer, with Rangers winning the SPl last season the target was always going to be to reverse those positions this season. That has never looked likely though with Celtic dropping points in a regular basis and are left with only the Scottish Cup to play for this season as they look to salvage some pride from the wreckage.

Attention now turns to the Next Celtic Manager Betting and it is already shaping up to be a competitive market with Skybet opening up with Neil Lennon the man installed as the favourite to take the job on a permanent basis. Lennon we understand has been handed the role on a temporary basis and if he can produce a good run of results between now and the end of the season he is surely the man in pole position at this stage. Outside of Lennon the man many are talking about is Paul Lambert who is currently in charge of Norwich City, he has led the team to the top of League One and as a former player has to have good chances of taking the job at Parkhead on a full-time basis.
