Michael Nicholson breaks silence on Martin O’Neill with telling Celtic transfer claim

Celtic chief executive Michael Nicholson has publicly backed manager Martin O'Neill following three consecutive defeats, including two losses to Rangers and a defeat against Ferencvaros. O'Neill stated he needs time to evaluate his future with the Scottish club before holding discussions with the board, while defender Cameron Carter-Vickers confirmed the squad remains behind the manager.

In his Chief Executive's Review for the club's financial results, Nicholson confirmed Celtic's commitment to supporting O'Neill and the players. He noted disappointment regarding the club's Champions League play-off exit while maintaining that the club and O'Neill worked together during the summer transfer window to invest in the squad.
