FORMER Celtic manager Neil Lennon has emerged as one of the leading contenders to replace Alan Stubbs as Hibs manager.
The Northern Irishman, who led the Parkhead side from 2010-2014, was in the running for the Hoops job before they opted for Brendan Rodgers instead.
He's now one of the bookies' favourites to become the next Hibernian manager, with Alan Stubbs set to leave Easter Road for Rotherham United.

Hughes is the favourite on 6/5 after leaving Inverness Caley Thistle, with Scotland assistant McCall being quoted at 7/2.

The new boss will be tasked with succeeding where Stubbs failed by leading the club back into the Scottish Premiership.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
