Martin O'Neill is returning to Celtic as manager for the remainder of the season following the dismissal of Wilfried Nancy. The 73-year-old stepped in for eight games in the wake of Brendan Rodgers' exit in October, winning seven of those. "I am really pleased, in fact, very honoured to be asked back to manage the team again and I am looking forward to getting back to work again with the players," O'Neill told club media. He is a fine man and I am sure he will go on and achieve success again, I have no doubt of that. O'Neill, who won seven trophies with Celtic from 2000-05, will again be assisted by Shaun Maloney, Mark Fotheringham and Stephen McManus.
