David Moyes has been installed as the early frontrunner with Betfair to be the next manager of Celtic if Ange Postecoglou leaves.
The Hoops gaffer has emerged as the 'preferred candidate ' in Daniel Levy's search for the next Tottenham manager as he seeks a permanent replacement for Antonio Conte. Talk has been rumbling on this week over the future of the 57-year-old with the Scottish champions looking to secure a domestic Treble this weekend.
Skipper Callum McGregor will lead the team out at Hampden against Scottish Championship side Inverness with the Scottish Cup up for grabs. He's already lifted the League Cup at the same venue with a win over Rangers earlier this year while they also completed back to back Scottish Premiership triumphs to secure another crack at the Champions League.

Despite talk over the hot seat at the English Premier League club, Postecoglou has maintained his full focus is on the national stadium tomorrow but it is believed Spurs will ramp up their pursuit next week.
Should the Aussie leave Celtic a number of contenders to take over his role have been priced up by leading betting company Betfair with West Ham boss Moyes out in front at 10/3.
Scotland gaffer Steve Clarke - who has two crucial Euro 2024 qualifying clashes on the horizon - is second in the running at 4/1 with axed Chelsea boss Graham Potter third in the market at 11/2.
Legendary skipper Scott Brown and former boss Neil Lennon are also named at the top end of the market alognside another ex-gaffer in the shape of Brendan Rodgers.
Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “Celtic are preparing to lose Ange Postecoglou after two years in the dugout after betting was suspended on the Aussie heading to Tottenham. David Moyes is the 10/3 favourite to be the next permanent figure in the Celtic hot seat with Scotland national team boss Steve Clarke next in the betting at 4/1.
“A return for former club captain Scott Brown follows behind at 7/1, while Brendan Rodgers is 9/1 and Neil Lennon 14/1.”
