Martin O’Neill tipped to walk away from Celtic following disastrous week | OneFootball

Paul Slane has tipped Martin O’Neill to walk away from Celtic following a damaging run of three consecutive defeats.

The pressure surrounding the Hoops boss intensified after Sunday’s defeat to Rangers at Parkhead rounded off a bruising week for Celtic.

Back-to-back derby losses, either side of a 3-1 Europa League defeat to Ferencvaros, have prompted serious questions over O’Neill’s future.

The 74-year-old admitted after the latest Rangers defeat that he intends to use the international break to reflect on his position.

Former Celtic midfielder Slane was at Parkhead on Sunday and believes O’Neill could now decide to step aside.

Speaking on Open Goal about the Celtic manager and his future, Slane said: “I think Martin O’Neill will walk.”

“Some of the things you’re seeing [are] absolutely baffling. Something needs to change.”

“The players look completely lost on the ball and off the ball, every player’s under par… when [it] comes to that stage, something needs to change.”

“They’re trying everything. They’re trying changing shape, they’re trying different personnel and even when they’re changing personnel, they’re getting that all wrong as well, so something needs to give.”
