Martin O'Neill Expecting Next Celtic Manager 'Interesting Conversation' with Dermot Desmond
Celtic claimed their 43rd Scottish Cup after a 3-1 win, and O’Neill will discuss his future with Dermot Desmond next week.
On Saturday, Celtic secured their 43rd Scottish Cup success by defeating Dunfermline 3-1 at Hampden Park, with goals from Daizen Maeda, Arne Engels, and Kelechi Iheanacho.
Manager Martin O'Neill guided the team to a double this season, marking his ninth major honour with Celtic as the 74-year-old capped a career spanning over 26 years.
Winger James Forrest collected a club-record 28th major winners' medal during the final, while Dunfermline manager Neil Lennon, 54, acknowledged his team faces a significant rebuild next year.
Next week, O'Neill will hold contract talks with major shareholder Dermot Desmond to discuss his future, though he remains uncertain if he will be asked to remain in charge of Glasgow.
Lennon plans to overhaul his Dunfermline roster as many players' contracts expire next year, while Celtic supporters celebrated by chanting the name of their former manager.
