O’Neill’s Celtic Future May Hinge on Title Decider

An adviser says the title result could decide if the 74-year-old stays.

Overview

  • Martin O’Neill’s revival has carried Celtic to a final‑day league decider, and Keith Wyness says he may choose to stay if they win the title.
  • Wyness says the Celtic board would find it very hard to reject O’Neill if he publicly asks to continue as manager.
  • He also proposes moving O’Neill into a sporting director role to guide succession planning and reassure supporters.
  • Media reporting still points to O’Neill stepping aside after the season, even as a league‑and‑cup double remains possible.
  • Recent pitch invasions after a disputed late penalty at Motherwell could bring punishment from authorities, according to former referees’ chief Keith Hackett.
