Bookies Paddy Power has made Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs a favourite to be next Celtic manager.
Speculation is rife that current manager Ronny Deila will be replaced after the Parkhead side lost the chance to win the treble this year.
Ross County knocked the club out of the League Cup in a 3-1 victory days before their 2-1 defeat to Scottish Premiership title rivals Aberdeen.
United's assistant manager Giggs did not take his usual seat in the dugout alongside Louis van Gaal when the Premiership side took on Stoke earlier in the week.
They won 3-0 but shortly afterwards a rumour circulated that he would be taking Ronny Deila place at Parkhead.
Paddy Power tweeted: "With Ronny Deila under pressure, we make Ryan Giggs 5/6 fav to be next boss at Celtic Park."

The Evening Times reported this week on the rumour that Giggs was about to take over - but football fans just didn't take it seriously.
