O'Neill Urges Celtic Unity, Presses Board for Swift Manager Call After Late Win

Following an abandoned AGM, he says protests risk affecting players.

Overview

  • Callum McGregor struck a 95th‑minute winner at St Mirren as away fans repeatedly chanted “sack the board.”
  • Martin O’Neill called for “some sort of unification,” saying the dressing room is together but acknowledging the protests might affect the team.
  • The interim manager told the board to decide “very quickly” on the coaching situation with a Europa League trip to Feyenoord on Thursday, and he expects to lead the side unless told otherwise.
  • Media reports continue to link Wilfried Nancy as the leading candidate for the permanent job, with Kieran McKenna and Craig Bellamy also mentioned, though no appointment has been made.
  • Tensions followed an AGM that was abandoned after shareholder unrest, while on the pitch Celtic trail Hearts by four points, failed to reach the Champions League after losing to Kairat, and have struggled for goals in Europe.
