Martin O’Neill is ‘raring to go’ but Celtic’s biggest problem remains unanswered

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill confirmed he intends to remain in charge and is determined to win the league following a brief period of reflection. O'Neill had previously questioned whether he could still help the team after suffering three consecutive defeats, including two losses to rivals Rangers and a European defeat against Ferencvaros.

Writer Patrick Sinat argues that Celtic's hierarchy handled the situation uncomfortably by publicly backing O'Neill before he had decided his own future. While Celtic chief executive Michael Nicholson gave full backing and defender Cameron Carter-Vickers confirmed player support, Sinat contends the club's board should not have left the decision solely to the manager.
