As Celtic backed up their phenomenal performance from Thursday night with another hard earned win at Easter Road, a place we have notoriously struggled at in recent years, there really is only one question we should be asking…

Is the club appointing Wilfried Nancy after the Dundee game midweek a case of terrible timing?

We have heard from Martin O’Neill both before and after the match confirming he has been asked to lead the team out again on Wednesday against Dundee at Celtic Park, in what he thinks will be his final game in charge. But should it be? It’s a really tough decision that I’m sure the club will certainly be pondering as they wait to finally get things tied up with Wilfried Nancy.

When O’Neill came in I thought teaming him up with Shaun Maloney for the job in an interim basis was a good move, although I have to admit I also felt like the board may have been lining Maloney up to take over long term if things went well, the usual style from the men who run our club, continuing to favour nepotism and frugality over ambition. Thankfully my Maloney theory hasn’t materialised but I have to admit that Martin O’Neill with the former Celtic winger by his side have certainly impressed during their spell. It’s certainly panned out better than I ever imagined.

O’Neill and Maloney have come in and truth be told they have been absolutely fantastic. The results have been excellent. 6 games so far with 5 wins, including a Glasgow derby victory in the semi final of the league cup and a famous away win in Rotterdam against Feyenoord. The only negative was the 3-1 loss against Midtjylland in Denmark but to be fair they have been flying in the Europa League this season and were just a team who were better in every department against Celtic on the night.
