Martin O’Neill is expected to take charge of Celtic for the final time on Wednesday night.
O’Neill confirmed he will be in the dugout against Dundee as Wilfried Nancy‘s move is delayed by ongoing paperwork.
Celtic beat Hibernian 2-1 to move two points behind Hearts on Sunday and set up the chance for the Bhoys to potentially go top of the table in O’Neill’s final game in charge.
There have been talks about him staying on in some capacity, and the Irishman directly addressed that in his post-match conversation.

A lot has been made of Nancy’s lack of experience managing in Europe and that he may need someone with knowledge of the Scottish football scene to help him get up to speed.
The 73-year-old could be the perfect person to do that but admitted that the decision will have to be made by the incoming Celtic manager.

He told Sky Sports: “First of all, I think the new manager should have the choice in all that.
“I think he should have the choice in all of that there, of who he has, players to work with, but also his backroom staff. I think that’s fair.”
