I’m not convinced that he’ll be manager against Motherwell- Callaghan gives his verdict on O’Neill’s future

Podcaster Tino Callaghan stated he is not convinced Martin O'Neill will still be Celtic manager for the October 11 match against Motherwell. Speaking on The Cynic, Callaghan suggested the 74-year-old manager may decide to step down following a difficult run of results and performances. O'Neill previously announced a period of self-reflection after Celtic suffered a defeat to Rangers in the Glasgow Derby on September 20, 2026.

Celtic endured four major defeats in less than a month, including an August 25 Champions League playoff elimination by LASK Linz. Although Celtic CEO Michael Nicholson expressed backing for O'Neill in the club's Annual Report, Callaghan argued that O'Neill has earned the right to exit on his own terms if he feels his tenure has run its course.
