Former Aston Villa boss advocated for period in-between Celtic manager function as Brendan Rodgers debate ignites

The former Aston Villa boss had a memorable stint at Celtic until now and has been brought up in a Parkhead debate.

Former Aston Villa and Celtic boss Martin O’Neill

Martin O’Neill has been touted as an gorgeous interim Celtic solution in a debate on Brendan Rodgers’ future.

The Hoops are coming under strain after a 1-1 home draw with Kilmarnock. It allowed Rangers to leapfrog them in thePremiership and cranks the strain up on what has been a tough first season back in the hotseat at Parkhead.

Celtic chiefs have obtained it in the neck for a lack of recruitment work in January and the basic transfer strategy has been open to criticism. Rodgers hasn’t escaped some either, with that engulfing debate on the radio.

A Go Radio caller cautioned he believes former boss O’Neill – who managed the club between 2000-05 and was once the gaffer for the run to the UEFA Cup remaining – should be a tremendous intervening time fit. O’Neill has because managed Aston Villa, Sunderland, Republic of Ireland and Sunderland.

Rangers hero Craig Moore replied to the declare with “what a shout that is” earlier than reeling matters back. He said: “But it would cost Celtic a fortune to get rid of Brendan.

“If they’re not inclined to spend in switch window I can’t see how that would occur or should happen but Martin O’Neill is a bag of energy!”

Celtic hero John Hartson played in O’Neill’s group and wasn’t so sure if the Irishman would choose a second crack. He added: “I can’t see it happening.

“But Michael has thrown the cat amongst the pigeons there. Celtic fans, get in touch, would you like to see Martin O’Neill back?”
