Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney will remain temporarily in charge of Celtic as the club continue to look for a new manager.<\/p>\n
The 73-year-old former Republic of Ireland and Parkhead boss and the ex-Hoops player were put in interim control of the first team after Brendan Rodgers resigned last month.<\/p>\n
It has been reported recently that the Celtic board have been interviewing candidates, with Columbus Crew head coach Wilfried Nancy emerging as the new bookmakers\u2019 favourite.<\/p>\n
On their official website, the Parkhead club stated that it “will update supporters further as soon as possible”.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the William Hill Premiership game against St Mirren on Saturday, O\u2019Neill told Celtic TV said: “First things first, I enjoyed the couple of days off because it was a bit of a whirlwind fortnight beforehand, but if there\u2019s not an announcement now in the next few days, then I\u2019m happy to still be here for the weekend game against St Mirren.<\/p>\n
“First of all, we want the players coming back from international matches unscathed, which is the most important thing for us just now, now that we\u2019ve got a few injuries to contend with.<\/p>\n
“So whatever sort of squad we had for the Kilmarnock game, I wouldn\u2019t mind having roughly the same again, but we can only deal with what we have and what we want to do and we just want to play as strongly as we possibly can.<\/p>\n
“But let\u2019s see what the next couple of days bring.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney will remain temporarily in charge of Celtic as the club continue to look…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145296,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-145295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145295\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
