Pedro Caixinha is 6/4 favourite to be the next SPFL Premiership boss to be sacked/resigned.

The fifth best coach in Qatar has had a nightmare week and badly needs a win at Hamilton tonight to keep the caravan trundling through the international break.

Ian Cathro and Jim McIntyre have both been handed their P45 with Caixinha, who was appointed in March, looking a certainty to move on.

While the betting market is known as the Sack Race any sort of departure is accepted with a number of circumstances lining up against Caixinha.

Lee McCulloch and Neil McCann are the second and third favourites to be sacked with Brendan Rodgers a distant 33/1.

A £10m summer spending spree looked of dubious value when Progres Niederkorn ended the club’s dreams of lifting the Europa Cup to open the door into the Champions League.

Celtic’s 2-0 win last Saturday was being spun as some sort of moral victory but after a furious team meeting on Monday was leaked to the newspapers it has become a matter of if rather than when Caixinha will quit.

Negotiating a pay off is likely to be the biggest obstacle with a gardening leave arrangement similar to that given to Ally McCoist the likely solution with a Kenny Miller and Graeme Murty dream ticket likely to be put in temporary charge.
