Sean Dyche emerges as Celtic manager candidate as bookies back Burnley boss ahead of Rafa Benitez

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has emerged as a surprise candidate with bookmakers to be the next Celtic manager.

The Englishman has been praised for his work with Burnley and has turned the Turf Moor men into an established Premier League side.

However, after almost a decade with the Clarets, some pundits had suggested that it could be time for a fresh start north of the border.

The bookmakers now seem to agree with Dyche among the frontrunners to replace Neil Lennon.

The Premier League boss is sitting at 12/1 with Paddy Power alongside Steve Clarke and Roberto Martinez.

However, interim boss John Kennedy remains the odds-on favourite to become the next permanent manager at Parkhead.

Former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is a close second with oddsmakers after persistent links to the hot seat.

Early favourite Rafa Benitez has now drifted further down the list of candidates at 14/1.
