Celtic will look to secure another domestic double with a win over Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish Cup final this weekend, a game which could be Martin O’Neill’s final one in charge of the club.
Having led Celtic to a fifth successive Scottish Premiership title with a 3-1 final-day win over Hearts last week, many supporters are hoping the veteran Irish boss will commit to a longer stay, despite his insistence that his energy levels are too low to continue in the dugout.
Twice taking charge of the club this season, he first stepped into the breach after the resignation of Brendan Rodgers in October, returning to the role on a deal until the end of the season as a replacement for Wilfried Nancy, whose disastrous stint in charge was brought to an end after just 33 days in January.
Will O’Neill opt to stay a club a little longer, or will Celtic be forced to move for a new name in the dugout ? Here are the latest odds for the next permanent Celtic manager.*
