O'Neill reveals he'd have 'happily stayed on' at Celtic

Martin O'Neill has revealed that he would have "happily stayed on" at Celtic if he'd been asked, with new manager Wilfried Nancy facing sack calls after just three games. The Frenchman, only weeks into his tenure, has already found himself under intense scrutiny, with Sunday's Scottish League Cup final defeat to St Mirren prompting an extraordinary backlash from fans and reopening debate about whether continuity might have offered a steadier hand.

Fans call for Nancy axing after Celtic stunned in League Cup final

Celtic fans are calling for "absolute clown" Wilfried Nancy to be sacked after Sunday's surprise Scottish League Cup final defeat to St. Mirren. The Frenchman has only overseen three matches since taking over as Brendan Rodgers' permanent replacement earlier this month, but supporters have already seen enough of the former Columbus Crew boss to demand his exit.

Rangers faced Hibernian in a Scottish League Cup quarter-final clash on Saturday and after the team's 2-0 win, Martin bizarrely thanked supporters, despite their vehement protest at the Stadium.
