Roy Keane is reported to have delivered a positive, “box office” recommendation to Celtic regarding the club’s pursuit or consideration of Martin O’Neill, according to coverage from Irish outlets. Fans are awaiting further clarification on O’Neill’s future at Parkhead after a difficult period of results.
Both reports link the latest discussion to Celtic’s performance in a recent match against Rangers, which they say took place before the international break. One outlet frames the story as involving a direct recommendation by Keane following internal discussion, while another emphasizes O’Neill’s own comments indicating he would consider his Celtic situation after the Rangers defeat. A separate detail in one account also claims that a club statement process was wiretapped, without broad confirmation from other sources provided here.
Overall, the common thread across the reports is that O’Neill’s near-term future is being reassessed following the Rangers loss, and Keane’s reported recommendation is cited as a factor in the narrative.
