Celtic Chief Offers Support to Embattled Manager O'Neill
O'Neill says he will reflect during the international break after Celtic lost three of their past four matches and fell two points behind Rangers.
- Celtic manager Martin O'Neill, 74, said he will 'reflect' on his future during the current international break following three consecutive defeats, including two losses to Rangers.
- The manager's uncertainty follows a disappointing Champions League exit to LASK in August, compounded by internal frustration over recruitment and salary disputes involving his backroom staff.
- Celtic reported a £4.8m loss for the year ending June 30, 2026, as annual revenue fell 22.7% to £111m, largely attributed to dropping into the Europa League.
- Chief executive Michael Nicholson publicly backed the manager on Tuesday, vowing the club will 'support Martin and the players' as they focus on domestic success and the Europa League.
- Former club captain Paul Lambert noted he would be 'shocked and disappointed' if the club sacked O'Neill, though the manager faces immediate pressure to find form after the break.
