O'Neill to Fight On Amid Celtic Pressure

Scott Allan anticipates that Martin O'Neill will continue his role as Celtic manager, despite the team experiencing a challenging period marked by three successive losses. The manager had indicated he would use the recent international break to consider his future after defeats to Rangers and Ferencvaros intensified pressure on him and his players.

This speculation follows a public show of support for O'Neill from Celtic's chief executive, Michael Nicholson, in the club's latest financial statement. Allan views this intervention as a strong signal that the 74-year-old intends to remain in charge.

Allan suggested that O'Neill's natural inclination, given his extensive experience in football, would be to persevere and attempt to overcome criticism rather than step down. He expressed that the manager's instinct would be to stay and fight to prove his doubters incorrect, predicting he will remain before the next league fixture.
