It looks as though Martin O’Neill will take charge of his final game this week.
Everyone thought Celtic’s game against Hibernian at Easter Road was going to be O’Neill’s final bow after he took interim charge in October.
But O’Neill shared that he is staying on until Dundee on Wednesday night, and that is now expected to be his final match as Celtic manager.
If that is the case, what emotions will the Irishman go through after the full-time whistle at Parkhead? Because there is one thing he certainly won’t do, as he told Jim White in a pretty blunt fashion.

Martin O’Neill on whether he will ‘cry’ after Celtic’s game against Dundee
Speaking on talkSPORT, a day after Celtic’s win over Hibernian, Jim White spoke with O’Neill and his current situation.
White asked O’Neill if he would ‘cry’ after the Dundee game, and in typical style, he told the talkSPORT host ‘don’t be stupid,’ to the laughter of the studio.
Jim White: “Are you going to be emotional after the game on Wednesday night against Dundee?”
O’Neill: “You mean, am I going to cry?”
The talkSPORT studio then bursts into laughter, and White adds: “Are you going to cry?”
O’Neill: “Don’t be stupid.”
White: “I am a mophead (It’s what O’Neill previously called the talkSPORT host).”
O’Neill: “Oh, you have remembered that. I do apologise.”
White: “Martin, there is a seat waiting for you here whenever you want to come back. You know that.”
O’Neill’s stats in his second stint as Celtic manager
It probably has gone a lot better than many thought because Celtic were in a mess when Rodgers resigned.
Remember, the Hoops were beaten at Hearts and Dundee, and those losses were deserved. But now Celtic look and are playing like a different beast altogether, thanks to one man.
