O’Neill has been in interim charge since Rodgers’ exit
Celtic move level on points with Hearts after Dundee win
Celtic have appointed Wilfried Nancy, coach of Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer, as their new permanent manager to replace Brendan Rodgers, who was dismissed in October. He has signed a two-and-a-half year contract.
Martin O’Neill signed off his spell as interim manager with a 1-0 home win against Dundee on Wednesday night. The result moved Celtic level on points with Hearts, who remain top of the Scottish Premiership on goal difference despite being held to a 1-1 draw at home against Kilmarnock. Celtic also have a game in hand on their title rivals.
During his tenure O’Neill also saw off Rangers in a League Cup semi-final to set up a final at Hampden Park against St Mirren on 14 December.
