James McFadden was full of admiration for Martin O’Neill’s work at Celtic.
The 2-1 victory over Hibernian rounded out an amazing week in which he ended the Hoops’ four-year drought for an away win in Europe by defeating Feyenoord.
Celtic’s win at Easter Road was far from vintage, but it keeps them two points behind Hearts in the Scottish Premiership.
McFadden was one of the pundits at the game, and he appeared impressed with what he saw from O’Neill.
James McFadden on Martin O’Neill
After his pre-match statements, O’Neill is set to be in control of the Dundee game, and he might leave with the Hoops at the top of the table.
After all of the turbulence off the pitch, McFadden believes O’Neill has handled the role admirably and done more than stabilize the team.
The 73-year-old has already stated that he would like to be present for the Premier Sports Cup final versus St Mirren on December 14, although Wilfried Nancy may already be in the bench.
Should Celtic retain Martin O’Neill till January?
There is a valid argument that O’Neill should continue at Celtic until the January transfer window opens.
In addition to the cup final, there is a top-of-the-table meeting with Hearts and a Europa League tie to contend about.
Bringing in Nancy for such a high-pressure situation may disrupt the busy time of games and jeopardize their title prospects.
With Nancy behind the wheel, it will feel like a new year and a fresh start.
