Overview
- Celtic followed a 4-0 win over Falkirk by beating Rangers 3-1 in the League Cup semi-final to set up a 14 December final against St Mirren.
- Martin O’Neill said he would say “yes” to staying longer, while telling talkSPORT he has not discussed the role with Dermot Desmond and will not take part in selecting the next manager.
- Reports indicate the upcoming matches against Midtjylland in the Europa League and Kilmarnock in the Premiership are being treated as key barometers for any extension.
- The club is assessing alternatives, with Kieran McKenna linked at a reported £5 million compensation and Craig Bellamy in the frame, while Ange Postecoglou is viewed as unlikely to return immediately.
- O’Neill made a quick trip to London to retrieve his passport so he can travel with Celtic to Denmark for Thursday’s Europa League fixture at Midtjylland.
