Report: Martin O’Neill linked with Celtic as he eyes return to management

According to The Sun, former Celtic manager Martin O’Neill may have put his old employers on red alert following his wish to return to the dugout.

Hoops boss Neil Lennon is under a lot of pressure after the Scottish giants’ woeful start to 2020-21, and he could be replaced in the coming weeks if the results don’t change.

Celtic have found themselves 13 points behind bitter rivals Rangers with two games in hand and could struggle to mount a strong challenge for ten-in-a-row going forward this term.

The Parkhead outfit have looked at Scotland manager Steve Clarke as they identify Lennon’s potential replacements, but it’s almost impossible to see him leave the job now after helping the country qualify for next summer’s European Championships.
