A leading bookmaker makes former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho a leading contender to become the new manager of Celtic.

Jose Mourinho has allegedly emerged as a contender to become the next manager of Celtic.

The Portuguese has been out of work since being sacked by Manchester United in December, but the 56-year-old continues to be linked with a number of top positions in Europe.

Mourinho has been tipped to return to Italy or move to France, but according to bookmakers Paddy Power, Celtic have emerged as a potential destination.

An appointment at the Scottish giants appears unlikely, but odds have been slashed from 66/1 to 14/1 over the past 48 hours.

Neil Lennon is currently in charge of Celtic on a contract which is due to expire at the end of the season.
