James McFadden had plenty of praise for the work Martin O’Neill has done at Celtic.
The 2-1 win against Hibernian capped off an excellent week after he ended the Hoops’ four-year wait for an away win in Europe by beating Feyenoord.
Celtic’s win at Easter Road was by no means vintage, but it does leave them just two points behind Hearts in the Scottish Premiership.
McFadden was one of those on punditry duty at the game and seemed very impressed by what he has seen from O’Neill.

Who is your man of the match?
James McFadden on Martin O’Neill
O’Neill is likely to be in charge for the Dundee game after his pre-match comments and could have the chance to depart with the Hoops top of the table.
After all of the drama off the pitch, McFadden thinks that O’Neill has handled the role exceptionally and done more than stabilise the club.
Do you agree with James McFadden?
The 73-year-old has since admitted that he would like to be here for the Premier Sports Cup final against St Mirren on 14 December, but by then, Wilfried Nancy may already be in the dugout.
Should Celtic keep Martin O’Neill until January?
There is a genuine argument to say that O’Neill should stay at Celtic until the January transfer window opens.
As well as the cup final, there is also a top of the table clash against Hearts, and a Europa League tie to contend with.
Bringing in Nancy for such a high-pressure scenario may only disrupt the busy period of games and threaten their title chances.
That way, it can feel like a new year and a fresh start with Nancy at the wheel.
