How to watch Celtic v Falkirk as O’Neill returns to dugout
Martin O'Neill will return to the Celtic Park dugout for the first time 20 years when he takes caretaker charge of the Scottish Premiership match against Falkirk on Wednesday night.
The 73-year-old has been handed the reins on an interim basis alongside Shaun Maloney following the shock resignation of Brendan Rodgers, who left the club on Monday amid a breakdown in his relationship with the board.
O'Neill is regarded fondly by Celtic supporters having previously managed the club between 2000 and 2005, winning seven trophies, including a treble in his first season, as well as reaching the UEFA Cup final in 2003.
He will be tasked with providing an instant upturn in fortunes with Celtic sitting eight points behind leaders Hearts at the top of the Premiership table following Sunday's 3-1 defeat at Tynecastle, which followed a 2-0 defeat at Dundee the previous weekend.
Falkirk arrive on a high following back-to-back league wins over Motherwell and Dundee which have taken them up to sixth in the table, level on points with Rangers after nine matches. John McGlynn's side have already visited Celtic Park this season on Premier Sports Cup duty in August and were on the end of 4-1 defeat.
