BBC Sport reports that Martin O'Neill is weighing up his Celtic future after a second defeat in a week against Rangers, following a home European loss to Ferencvaros in between. The 74-year-old said he would “reflect” on whether he can still help the team and speak to the board.
O'Neill also said age plays a part and suggested it “might be time to wrap it up”, while stressing he will first review the recent games and take a couple of days away. His comments come after Celtic's difficult run, even though they remain top of the Scottish Premiership.
The report points to a possible change in direction at Celtic, but it does not say he has decided to leave. For now, the concrete development is that the manager has publicly questioned whether he is still the right man for the job.
What remains unconfirmed
- Whether O'Neill will actually leave Celtic.
- Whether the board will ask him to stay or step aside.
