JOHN HUGHES and Mixu Paatelainen are joint favourites to become the next manager of Hibernian, according to bookmakers Ladbrokes.
The former Easter Road heroes are both 7/2 with Ladbrokes to land the job, with Craig Brewster and current caretaker Tommy Craig 5/1 and 6/1 respectively.
Hibs, who are currently fifth in the SPL, lost John Collins before Christmas when he resigned the day after they opened their new training complex.
Spokesman Robin Hutchison said: "As the son of a Leith dock worker and as a man who scored a hat-trick against Hearts, Hughes and Paatelainen are bound to be popular choices.
"But there are a number of eligible candidates in the list and it wouldn't be a surprise to see a curve ball appointment."
