BBCFri, November 28, 2025 at 4:19 PM UTC·2 min readCeltic interim manager Martin O'Neill has been talking to the media before his side's trip to Hibernian on Sunday.
Here are the best bits from his news conference:
O'Neill says the 3-1 win at Feyenoord was a "throwback" to the days when Celtic had "brilliant footballers at your disposal".
He was heartened by not just the "magnificent" performance but also the fight they showed to come from behind.
O'Neill reiterated the importance that restored confidence has been in Celtic's recent winning run under his management.
With Wilfired Nancy expected to be appointed, O'Neill is as bored as reporters regarding his future - but thinks there will be "movement" at the beginning of next week. O'Neill has had conversations with board members who say progress has been made.
He praised the work of his backroom staff during his spell as interim manager and says the thrill of winning games never changes.
O'Neill says his appetite for management will never go away, but admits he would have been "dubious" had he been offered a job by any club other than Celtic.
Talking about Celtic's abandoned AGM, O'Neill says he wishes questions had been asked in a way that would have brought answers from the board. Stressed again that Celtic "united" is a far better club than one disunited.
He thinks Celtic "will come back and compete properly in Europe" and that should be the aim moving forwards.
O'Neill is unbothered by his legacy at Celtic, but says helping to "change the course of Rangers' dominance" in the early 2000s does make him proud.
Team news: Colby Donovan had a stud in his foot against Feyenoord, but should be in contention to play at Easter Road. Marcelo Saracchi is also available.
