Martin O'Neill has ruled out any discussions about his Celtic managerial future before Saturday's Scottish Cup final. The veteran boss admitted he lacks the energy to continue in the role, despite successfully guiding the club through a challenging period. O'Neill's honest assessment comes after delivering the Premiership title to Celtic fans.

O'Neill reflected on finding renewed motivation through working with young coaches and players at the club. He described feeling a 'renaissance' during his tenure, though fatigue has now set in. The 72-year-old acknowledged he may not have many years left in football management, making the decision about his future increasingly personal rather than professional.

Major shareholder Dermot Desmond twice approached O'Neill about returning to Celtic this season, and the pair spoke briefly after Saturday's triumph. While O'Neill believes he has merited the opportunity to continue, he stopped short of saying Celtic should offer him a new contract. The Scottish Cup final now serves as a potential farewell for the experienced manager.
