Martin O’Neill has signed a new one-year contract as Celtic manager with the option for a further season, the club have announced.

The 74-year-old returned to Celtic Park twice last season and ultimately led the Hoops to a league and Scottish Cup double.

O’Neill told Celtic’s official website: “It is once again a great privilege for me to continue as Celtic manager.

“Last season will live long in all our memories and to be part of that success has in a big way whetted the appetite to work again for more days like those and bring our supporters those moments.”
