MARTIN O’Neill has agreed to become Celtic manager after holding talks with principle shareholder Dermot Desmond in London last night.
There was a fan backlash after the club was in talks with former Irish international Robbie Keane after his season managing in Israel between 2023-24.
It has been reported that O’Neill will sign a one year contract with an option for a further year.
The Derry man has been credited for Celtic winning a League and Cup double last season after his two stints as interim boss after the sackings of Brendan Rodgers and Wildfried Nancy.
