"Thursday's 3-1 victory over Feyenoord ended Celtic's four-year wait for an away win in Europe, while O'Neill, along with coach Shaun Maloney, engineered an extra-time League Cup semi-final win against Rangers. "I have honestly enjoyed it," O'Neill said of his interim spell. And the best part? "Winning games," he smiled. "That will never change. Beating Rangers always helps." O'Neill managed Celtic from 2000-05, winning three league titles, three Scottish Cups, and a League Cup."
""I shouldn't downplay the performance," he said. "I thought we were really brilliant. "It was as good as we've played in my time here." O'Neill had not managed a club since being sacked by Nottingham Forest in June 2019. "During the time when I wasn't managing I was always thinking 'I could manage'," he said. "The appetite is always there. In my last days on earth I'll still be thinking 'yeah, that's okay I'll be able to do that'.""
Martin O'Neill expects Sunday's visit to Hibernian to be the last game of his temporary return as Celtic manager. The 73-year-old has won five of six matches after stepping in following Brendan Rodgers' resignation. Celtic are close to agreeing a deal with Columbus Crew head coach Wilfried Nancy, with board members indicating progress and a potential announcement by early next week. Thursday's 3-1 victory over Feyenoord ended a four-year away-win drought in Europe and O'Neill, with Shaun Maloney, engineered an extra-time League Cup semi-final win against Rangers. O'Neill enjoyed the interim spell, praised the Feyenoord performance, and confirmed a continuing appetite for management after leaving Nottingham Forest in 2019.
