Martin O’Neill has answered Celtic’s distress call twice already this season after Brendan Rodgers was chased for daring to point out that the squad was in dire need of quality additions over the summer. And rather than replace Kyogo last summer, Michael Nicholson decided to sell Adam Idah instead.

The veteran Celtic boss is currently preparing for this Sunday’s Scottish Cup semi-final against St Mirren at Hampden before turning his attention to the final five post split fixtures in the Scottish Premiership. If all goes to plan he’s have consecutive weekends of silverware and glory before calling it a day or making Scott Brown’s by signing on for another season.

Speaking to Daily Record Broony said: “I would love Martin to stay for another season. Look, it’s obviously hard for Martin – he’s no spring chicken anymore! But he still has great enthusiasm for the club and, to be honest, that’s half the battle.”

He also reckons that Callum McGregor playing through injury is perfectly fine as Celtic would miss his presence if the calls to avoid playing an injured player were to be listened to by Martin O’Neill.

“I’m telling you now, never write Cal off because he’s the main man and he keeps that club ticking. He keeps the team together on the pitch and he’s the driving force off it,” Broony said.

“His mentality is next to none – he wants to play every game whether he’s injured or not. He’ll fight for the cause for the good of the football club rather than worrying about what’s best for himself.”
