Martin O'Neill suggests there remains room for older gentlemen in football management as he keeps the possibility of extending his Celtic tenure open. The Northern Irishman admitted his primary concern upon returning in October was not damaging his previous work but whether he possessed the energy required for modern football's demands.

Celtic have explored options with Jens Berthel Askou joining Toulouse and Robbie Keane's name mentioned from Ferencvaros. O'Neill clarified he has not held substantive talks with Celtic's hierarchy about next season, despite speculation surrounding his position following his dramatic return to Scottish football this season.

When asked about potential discussions after the Scottish Cup final, O'Neill stated "I genuinely do not know" and suggested any conversations would naturally occur after Saturday's match. His future remains in limbo as Celtic prepares for their final match with no clarity on management plans beyond that date.
