One year after Brendan Rodgers resigned as Celtic manager, Martin O'Neill remains at the helm — over two spells with Wilfried Nancy briefly in between.
O'Neill admitted he considered his position during the last international break but showed no signs of walking away before Wednesday's meeting with Dundee United. He described the past year as "long" but said the club "rejuvenated" him, adding he was "secretly probably delighted to get the call."
Domestically, O'Neill's side have lost only one of their 10 league games this season, scoring 25 times for six conceded. Since the closing stages of last season, they've won 16 of 17 league games, extending their lead over Rangers at the top.
However, European performances remain a concern. After a 7-1 thrashing of Hearts, the team suffered heavy defeats against LASK, Ferencvaros and Benfica, leading to a Champions League exit and a poor Europa League start. Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton described the squad as "woefully inept" in European competition.
