Martin O’Neill has been confirmed as Celtic’s permanent manager following two interim spells in charge last season that resulted in a Premiership and Scottish Cup double.
The 74-year-old has agreed to stay at Parkhead on a one-year contract with the option for a further year after talks with Celtic’s major shareholder Dermot Desmond.
O’Neill returned to Celtic – 20 years after a successful five-year stint as manager – in late October on a temporary basis following Brendan Rodgers’ departure.
He won all of the domestic games during eight matches in charge, with the only defeat to Midtjylland in the Europa League, but made way for Wilfried Nancy.
However the Frenchman left after six defeats in eight matches, leading to O’Neill’s return in early January until the end of the season.
