This is what Martin O’Neill brings to Celtic -simplicity, authority and trust…

Well what a difference a week makes. We have gone from the depths of disappear having lost at home to a bog standard theRangers side and being stuck with a manager who was so far out of his depth it was almost unbelievable, to the highs of easily swatting aside a Dundee United side who beat us only a couple of weeks ago and now looking at our current manager and thinking that this season is far from over.

Joy to watch Celtic yesterday

That was a joy to watch yesterday. Was it an amazing performance? No, but it didn’t have to be. It was straight forward. It was stress free. It was everything the past month hasn’t been.

Heading in to that match yesterday we would have all have been happy with the three points, no matter how they were attained. In the end these Celtic players, who have looked so out of sorts these past few weeks, finally started playing to their capabilities, scored four goals and more importantly kept a clean sheet for the first time since our current manager was last in the dugout against Dundee at the start of December.

Martin O’Neill has returned to much love and adulation from the Celtic support

Martin O’Neill has returned to much love and adulation from the Celtic support. He has answered the call to be Celtic’s saviour once again. His legendary status continues to increase, and there is absolutely no doubt he deserves great credit.

The funny thing however is that Martin O’Neill isn’t the second coming of Christ. He isn’t some managerial genius. What he is is a damn good manager, an experienced one, who knows that football is actually a rather simple game. He knows the number one rule of managing a football team, any team in fact, is that you play to it’s strengths. He did that yesterday and look at the results.
