Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has openly questioned his future at the club following a bruising week that saw the team suffer three consecutive defeats. The 74-year-old, who returned to the club as a saviour, admitted it might finally be time to "wrap it up."
The Northern Irishman's comments came after a week that included two derby defeats to arch-rivals Rangers and a home loss to Ferencvaros in Europe. O'Neill stated he would use the upcoming international break to reflect on whether he is still the right man to lead the team and intends to hold discussions with the club's board.
Celtic's form has plummeted since their collapse in the Champions League play-off against LASK, a result that seems to have left a lasting impact on the squad. Critics and former players like Chris Sutton have pointed to a lack of physicality and energy in midfield as primary concerns, noting that the team appeared significantly outclassed by Rangers in their recent meetings.
While figures like Neil Lennon suggest O'Neill still possesses the desire to continue, the manager is facing significant scrutiny. O'Neill remains cautious, emphasizing that his priority is to ensure he can still provide the guidance the team requires to compete at the highest level.
