Celtic legend Martin O’Neill was due to turn out at a fan event on Friday but it has now been cancelled. The hugely successful manager left his post as interim manager after a successful five week spell but there have been rumours swirling that he could replace embattled Wilfried Nancy.
The Irishman is expected to be in attendance at Paradise on Sky Sports duties but there has been a clamouring for him to assume control.
Now, ACSOM’s Paul Dykes has confirmed that the event has been cancelled – which will heighten speculation that a change could be coming.

Nancy has lost five games out of his first seven in charge. Pressure is mounting and the manager needs to beat Rangers to retain any hope of turning things around. There had been talk on social media and Celtic forums that O’Neill could be parachuted back into the dugout, especially given the shambolic defeat against Motherwell. You would’ve expected a change to be made by now if the club were planning on replacing Nancy.
I’ve prayed and prayed to Jesus Christ. And I will pray to God again tonight for Martin O’Neill.
The phrase “if God is for us, who can be against us?” from Romans 8:31.
God is with Martin O’Neill. The Saviour of Celtic’s season.
SOS. Send legions of Angels to carry Martin to Parkhead.
Amen and god bless the Celtic faithful.
Jesus fuckin Christ!
Disgraiousfull language
It’s my birthday tomorrow and I never ask for anything big fella, so I’m putting all my 57 birthday wishes in to one…… Please can we have Martin O’Neill back lord.

Hi I also would hope that they bring back MARTIN ONEIL back to Paradise as the New Manager has lost 5/7Games-They should just have left Martin abd Shaun at the Realm-but they decided otherwise-Hopefully tomorrow 3/1/25-We WIN against Rangers we shall see HH
I don’t wish to dampen spirits, and me,too.. would be enthusiastic for a return of Mr O’Neil, but I think the cancellations are possibly due to the passing of his great friends,and legend John Robertson.
Now now keep yer man you have hes doing you proud ooops sorry I meant he’s doing us proud (Rangers👌) 😂.
Now to go against the grain of my fellow support I have to admit that. I am glad because Celtic destroyed us season after season till it became the norm, Crltic were just too good for us 😢 l.
So I am glad your current manager is utter shite at his job and helping us we might not be at the top of the league yet but I believe we will if we keep winning (got too keep the faith eh) O’Neil has that same love for the hoops as we born too it fans and that love for your team together with being good at what you do is dangerous for the opposition. So I for one pray this isn’t true😉.
