Hibs are seeking a new head coach following the sacking of David Gray - and a former Celtic gaffer is in the running.
The Premiership side from Easter Road have opted to bin their club icon who scored the winner in 2016’s Scottish Cup final following a poor run of form. That has sparked a search for who comes next and a three-week international break provides plenty of opportunity to discover their next leading coach.
BettingLounge have put together a contenders list for the vacancy and former Celtic manager Neil Lennon, formerly of Easter Road and now at Dunfermline Athletic, is amongst the pack. Here’s the current favourites to become the next Hibs manager.
