Former Celtic captain Paul Lambert believes Martin O'Neill "is the best person" to meet the club's expectations next season. Lambert starred for Celtic during during O'Neill's trophy-laden five-year spell in charge from 2000 and says his former boss' man-management of players is what makes him the best candidate right now. "That is his biggest strength, and he knows how to win and he knows Celtic must be a winning club, it can't be development and waiting for one or two months to get results - it is never going to work," he told BBC Scotland.
When Martin O'Neill returned for his second interim spell after Wilfried Nancy's sacking, he spoke frequently of the need to supplement the Celtic squad in the January window. "Hopefully he gets the players he wants to carry the club forward," the former Celtic captain told BBC Scotland. Celtic still have not effectively replaced Kyogo Furuhashi, while Jota's quality in wide areas is unable to be harnessed because of long-term injury.
