Shaun Maloney and Mark Fotheringham were key lieutenants as O'Neill guided Celtic to the title and Scottish Cup last season, but have reportedly been asked to take a pay cut to stay on. Gavin Strachan, Stephen McManus and goalkeeper coach Stevie Woods were also part of the backroom team that delivered Celtic's fifth consecutive league title.
