Celtic manager Martin O'Neill is contemplating his future at the club following back-to-back defeats to Rangers and a disappointing loss to Ferencvaros in Europe. Speaking after the latest loss, the 74-year-old Northern Irishman joked about being "110 years old in two years' time" and said it might be time "to wrap it up." O'Neill, who returned to Celtic as a much-criticised appointment last season, guided the club to the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup double on the final day against Hearts. However, recent performances have raised questions about his long-term viability. "I genuinely will reflect and see," he said. "It's a matter of whether I can help the team.

The manager is supposed to be able to do that. I will look at that this week." O'Neill's comments come after a damaging period that included a collapse against LASK in the Champions League play-offs, despite being 4-0 up on aggregate. The team's struggles have also drawn criticism from former players, with James McFadden suggesting the squad has not been adequately strengthened during the summer transfer window.

Chris Sutton, a former Celtic striker who played under O'Neill during his first spell, has also expressed concerns about the team's direction. O'Neill admitted that age and energy levels are factors he needs to consider, particularly when delivering his usual motivational talks to players each Friday. He plans to reflect on the recent games and discuss his position with the board in the coming days.
