Martin O’Neill, Celtic, Dermot Desmond
11 June 2026
Martin O’Neill has been confirmed as Celtic’s permanent manager after two interim spells last season produced a Premiership and Scottish Cup double. The 74-year-old has signed a one-year deal with an option for another season at Parkhead.
O’Neill returned after Brendan Rodgers’ exit, stepped aside for Wilfried Nancy, then came back when Nancy’s spell collapsed. Celtic chose stability after his domestic run, with Robbie Keane and Jens Berthel Askou among names previously linked.
