Looking back on the 2-0 defeat at Dundee United in March, when it seemed like Celtic's title chances may be over, O'Neill says: "We've woken up, we're a better side now, a bit more confident about ourselves as well too."

It was an honour to be asked to help find talent for the men’s team and I am enjoying and benefiting from the responsibilityThe buzz after I mentioned doing some scouting in the men’s game for Bayern Munich, during my appearance as an analyst on Swedish broadcaster SVT for the men’s team’s Champions League match against Real Madrid, is a bit of a double-edged sword.On the one hand, I thought: ‘Why is this such big news? It shouldn’t be.’ On the other hand, I understand it and I’m happy there has been so much positivity and encouragement around it. I hope it widens people’s perspectives and helps break barriers for women working in men’s football, because I think we’re ready for that, men’s football is ready for it and it needs it.
