Martin O’Neill has penned his first statement to Celtic supporters since returning to Celtic as interim manager.
O’Neill was appointed alongside Shaun Maloney following the resignation of Brendan Rodgers earlier in the week.
The 73-year-old will be in charge for as long as it takes to find a permanent successor, and ahead of the game against Falkirk, has written to supporters.

Posting on X, he said: “I have a deep affinity for Celtic Football Club, effectively since growing up in Northern Ireland.
“To be asked to become manager 25 years ago was one of the best moments of my life.
“So, when Dermot Desmond called on Monday and asked me to manage the football club again on an interim basis I was delighted to say yes once more.
“I look forward to working alongside Shaun Maloney and our immediate focus is preparing the team for an important match against Falkirk this evening.
“I am immensely grateful to the club for welcoming me back and to all the kind messages I have already received from the fans, I will give every ounce of energy I have to helping the team win matches for as long as I am in charge.
