Martin O'Neill is confident that any new Celtic manager would be delighted with the recent contract extensions secured by the club. Veteran winger James Forrest, Irish defender Liam Scales, and midfielder Luke McCowan have all committed to new deals, with Scales and McCowan having options for further extensions. O'Neill, in his second stint as interim manager, believes these signings demonstrate the club's proactive approach and will provide a solid foundation for his successor.
When asked if it would be better to let a new manager assess the players before offering new contracts, O'Neill acknowledged the point but emphasized that the extended players are integral to the team's success. He praised the quality and dedication of Forrest, Scales, and McCowan, stating that any new manager would be pleased to work with them.
O'Neill's comments come as he seeks to guide Celtic to a league and Scottish Cup double, despite uncertainty surrounding his own future beyond the summer.
