Celtic confirm Martin O’Neill as permanent manager

Celtic will confirm Martin O’Neill as permanent manager after the 74‑year‑old signed a one‑year contract to remain in Glasgow. O’Neill previously guided Celtic to a domestic double during his second interim spell this season.

He took charge for two interim periods this campaign, the second culminating in the league and cup double. The success prompted the club to offer the full‑time role.

Robbie Keane entered discussions with Dermot Desmond, Celtic’s principal shareholder, earlier this week. A segment of the Celtic support reacted angrily, objecting to Keane’s previous managerial stint in Israel.

Keane managed Maccabi Tel Aviv before moving to Hungary and then Ferencvaros. He resigned from Ferencvaros at the end of May.
