Martin O'Neill drops Celtic bombshell as interim boss reveals Hibs match won't be his last
O’Neill set to remain in charge for visit of Dundee
Martin O'Neill is set to continue as interim Celtic manager for at least one more match after revealing Sunday's game at Hibs will not be his last.
O'Neill had previously stated that the trip to Easter Road would be his swansong in the Celtic dugout with incoming manager Wilfried Nancy believed to be waiting in the wings to take over.
However, the 73-year-old has intimated that he expects to remain in charge for the visit of Dundee to Celtic Park on Wednesday, citing “something to do with paperwork”, providing the Northern Irishman with a home send-off after three consecutive away matches.
Speaking to Sky Sports, O'Neill said: “I thought it was my last game. Then I got a call yesterday to say the process is still ongoing and that there’s a really decent chance that I’ll still be here for Wednesday.
"I think that would definitely be the last one."
O'Neill stepped out of retirement to take on the role of carekaker Celtic boss last month following the resignation of Brendan Rodgers. He has steered the club to five wins in six matches including victories over Rangers in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final and at Feyenoord in the Europa League.
"We've done fine," O'Neill added. "Now we push forward to this game. It's going to be very difficult for us. All our concentration is on today, if it's not we'll get turned over."
