What could full season of O'Neill at Celtic look like?
Martin O'Neill has vowed to "drive forward together" and "not rest on past success", so what could a full season with the Northern Irishman at the helm look like?
In the final day of the Scottish Premiership season, Martin O'Neill's Celtic secured their third consecutive league title with a 2-1 victory over Hearts, following a Scottish Cup triumph the previous weekend. The Northern Irish manager, who had led Celtic to three league championships in his first stint, vowed not to rest on past success and drive forward in the upcoming season.
Kasper Hogh's club-record signing fee and the promising pre-season form of Camilo Duran have eased fan concerns about the club's transfer activity. With 59 points from 23 league games, O'Neill's side averaged 2.6 points per game during his full seasons in charge. If the 74-year-old were to return for another full season, Celtic could potentially achieve another domestic treble and maintain their top-of-the-table position.
The addition of Duran and Hogh, both with Champions League pedigree, points towards a quality-over-quantity approach. However, the success of this strategy will depend on Celtic's ability to strengthen their squad further.
