Hibs job: Bookies make Alex Neil favourite and quote Swiss coach Raphael Wicky
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The former Hamilton, Norwich and Preston boss is available and has openly admitted he is ready to manage in Scotland again.
Ironically, he was working for BBC Sportsound at Wednesday’s 1-0 defeat by Livingston and said on the radio: "I think I’ll certainly manage in Scotland again if I get the right opportunity.
“Whether that’s short term, as in the next job, or in future I’m not sure.


"My career started in Scotland, I came back to Scotland and I’ll probably come back to Scotland.”
The candidate odds list on McBookie features some vastly experienced managers in the Scottish game and some from down south.

Wicky won the Swiss Super League and Swiss Cup double with Basel in 2017, and also spent two years in Major League Soccer with the Chicago Fire, potentially catching the eye of Hibs owner Ron Gordon.
A former Swiss international midfielder won won 75 caps, Wicky was named the head coach of the United States Under-17 team two years ago before taking charge of Chicago Fire.
He missed the MLS Cup playoffs by one point in 2020, and was fired on September 30 this year.
