Manager's pre-match press conference at Lennoxtown

With every game that Celtic play now, Martin O’Neill faces the same question – is this going to be your last game in charge?

The Irishman acknowledges that the final countdown is on with regards to his time as interim manager, but if that is to be after Sunday’s game against Hibernian at Easter Road, he admits that he has enjoyed his time back at the club.

Of course, as is the case with any manager, the enjoyment comes from winning football matches, of which he’s managed to do on five out of six occasions so far.

‘And beating Rangers as well… that always helps!’ he said at today’s press conference at Lennoxtown.

Martin O’Neill was speaking less than 24 hours after his side defeated Feyenoord 3-1 in Rotterdam, an impressive result which injected fresh impetus into the team’s Europa League campaign, which also providing a night of European joy for the Celtic supporters, both in the De Kuip stadium and also watching from afar.

“It was great to win,” he said, “and I shouldn’t downplay the performance. I thought we were really brilliant and it was as good as we’ve played in my time here.”

Next up for Celtic is a trip to take on Hibernian at Easter Road on Sunday (KO: 12noon).
