The league title race went to the final day of the campaign, with Celtic beating long-time leaders Hearts 3-1 to retain the crown.
Then, at Hampden two weeks ago, O’Neill won his ninth trophy as Celtic manager with a 3-1 win over Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish Cup final.
Across his two spells last term, O’Neill oversaw 35 games in all competitions, winning 27 and drawing four.
His average of 2.56 points per game in the league matched his corresponding figure from 2000-05.
Robbie Keane, a one-time Celtic player, had been linked with the Celtic manager’s job before and after his recent exit from Ferencvaros.
However, several Celtic supporters clubs put their name to a statement earlier this week opposing his potential appointment because of the Irishman’s previous role as Maccabi Tel Aviv head coach.
Danish coach Jens Berthel Askou was also mentioned in connection with the position before leaving Motherwell for Toulouse.
