Not sure how interested anyone on here will be to here this but here goesπ a friend who's a Celtic fan(don't judgeπ
) told me there's a consortium involving Rodgers, McStay and Lord Willie Haughey trying to buy out Desmond. And players such as Duran and Hogh aren't happy about being occasionally dropped while McGregor keeps his place in the team, O'Neill has handed in his resignation not just because of recent results but with their summer signings also(or lack of).
He was expecting more midfield and defensive options to be bought rather than the loan signings(who he had no input in bringing in). All in all not a very happy camp at the moment, unlike ours! Oh and there was more to Roy Keane being at the match than just spectating. Majority on here won't really care what's going on in the other side of the city but I myself found it quite interesting (and funny) to hear. May the meltdown continue π

Rwn Duran has only been sub once for them, and Hogh twice so although I suspect they would be unhappy, as would any player, they have rarely been dropped. Hogh has been injured for more games than he was sub.
but I suspect like earlier this season when we were playing poorly there were all the rumours of McInnes being unhappy with our recruitment and the recruitment team and this is the same. so probably like the story below just a lot of people making lots if assumptions whilst the other side are having issues.
if they go for Roy Keane, then very good as he hasn't managed for 15 years and wasn't particularly successful then if memory is right, although that is stretching my old mind a bit π.

Angus, he won the Championship with Sunderland in his first managerial job, mate, were in the bottom 3 I'm sure before he came in, think it was October, but wouldn't mind him as Celtic manager though.

Would much rather O'Neil was staying tbh. No wonder their signings were so many loans as surely they didn't view him as a long term solution. Whoever comes after him whenever that happens will want their own players.
22 Sep 2026 18:22:51
My star. just shows how bad my memory is but if they take him after 15 years out then that is probably best for us if O'Neill does go. although I suspect that is just a lot of noise around his comments right after the game.
If our manager wasn't disappointed then I would be unhappy. didn't Gerrard say something as well about walking away; so just an instant reaction to the disappointment.
22 Sep 2026 20:09:24
O'Neil's resignation will be announced tomorrow with them apparently looking at Eddie Howe to replace him.
22 Sep 2026 20:17:59
Really hope he stays. Nicholson statement tonight backing O'Neill.
22 Sep 2026 20:19:52
As long as McGregors playing they will have major issues. he's finished.
22 Sep 2026 20:38:52
Oneill's going no where according to sky sports.
22 Sep 2026 20:52:29
They're backing him π.
22 Sep 2026 20:23:28
Yip they've released a statement saying he'll be backed to the hilt.
And rightly so he's just win a double and is still in Europe and 2 points clear at the top of the league.
What is wrong with Scottish people that we think that's a sackable offence or worthy of resigning.
22 Sep 2026 22:01:29
Angus, that was 20 years ago mate.
22 Sep 2026 22:52:32
Have already fired Howe into the reckoning, but they might have to wait till January.
He has a huge pay off from Newcastle will need settling.
22 Sep 2026 23:15:36
No chance Howe will go there. I can see McKenna going though.
22 Sep 2026 21:18:10
Listen I'm not a fan of Martin O'Neil for obvious reasons but I think he needs to stand down for his own health's sake. Other than that I care not a jot about them or who's unhappy.
Duran has bags of ability and I was concerned about him for both games but he acts like a sulky little petulant child. Reminds me of another Colombian we know.
23 Sep 2026 00:19:45
Howe I don't think will go there, there will be EPL jobs coming up soon enough and would think he'd be top of many lists.
23 Sep 2026 00:54:24
Canter, he's scored a couple of crackers and done very little since, only going from what I heard from men following them.
23 Sep 2026 08:07:52
Roy keane will know getting money out of Celtic board will be hard, he will have seen how much Celtic have to do to stay at top i personally think he is quite happy with his pundit work also would eddie howe be happy to join another team where getting investment in players is a stuggle not so sure not like lennon would probably jump at the chance.
23 Sep 2026 08:51:06
From what I've heard Mckenna is first choice however they need to wait til July 1st or pay Β£8m in compo that was the reason they were keeping O'Neill for another year unfortunately I work with loads of the unwashed so I do get snippets of what's happening over at the dark side.
23 Sep 2026 08:59:13
I have total confidence in our manager, Derek McInnes and don't care who that lot have as their manager. π€ I believe we've now got the right manager who'll take us to where we all want us to be and be a successful Rangers manager that's all i care about and not perturbed who Derek McInnes comes up against as our rivals manager, i trust McInnes π―% π₯π¬π§.

My niece works for haughey and she said that Brendan Rodgers and some guy from the Saudi team that Rodgers manages was in haugheys office in his city facilities building last week having a meeting, what for who knows, but they were definitely there.
23 Sep 2026 11:04:37
Anyone who thinks Roy Keane will give up his extremely lucrative punditry work to come and manage at the scaffold-dome I feel is misguided. Let's just hope they do as they did with Nancy and hold their fire, until we gather further momentum.
Have to say, a game v bottom team of SPL at home on 10th October may well be our biggest match before Christmas- no slip ups - foot down and then we can enjoy the chase.
23 Sep 2026 11:56:33
A whole lot of guess work and possibly made up stories coming up here. While I have no love for them, or indeed for St Martin, it must be said that he did unbelievably well to get them over the line at the end of last season. Our collapse and Hearts s******* themselves helped of course, but it was still a job well done. Right that's enough praise for them.
O'Neill is clearly unwell, the pressure he has chosen to put himself under is not helping his clearly fragile health, and I fully expect him to walk around Christmas if not before.
I have no information on any meetings or potential replacements - my take on it is from seeing the guy talking on TV before and after the game where he basically made an arse of himself by trying to belittle a pundit and then claiming there was nothing between the teams! His voice seemed strained at both ends of the game and he is looking his age.
