Betting has been suspended on Brendan Rodgers being named Celtic manager.
Sky Bet punters are currently unable to place bets on the former Parkhead boss returning to Glasgow.
It comes despite reports Rodgers is not currently interested in heading back to Celtic.
Sky Bet have Rodgers as the current favourite to replace Ange Postecoglou after his exit for Tottenham.

And the Northern Irishman previously admitted his desire to manage Celtic again - but crucially only if the timing was right.
Reports earlier this week suggested Rodgers does not currently believe that is the case with him favouring taking time out after being sacked by Leicester.
Speaking previously on a possible return to Parkhead in the future, Rodgers said: "The club were keen to bring me in and they were in a moment where Rangers were close - they were getting promoted - and I went in and created hopefully a really good base.
"That challenge may come again because it was a real challenge to go in and that challenge may come in the future and I would have absolutely no hesitation going back.
"Incredible club but like everything in life it's just about timing.
"Whether I would be received back or not is a different story.
"But would I go back to Celtic? Absolutely."
Mumbai City FC boss Des Buckingham is second in the odds at 2/1 for the Celtic job after being pictured in Glasgow.
Bodo/Glimt manager Kjetil Knutsen is also among the contenders at 10/3 with Enzo Maresca at 5/1.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
