Can’t explain the relief I feel - however the fact that Desmond was happy for Keane to even be considered for the job underlines his complete lack of respect for the fans. But that’s not news to anyone
Martin O'Neill has agreed to become Celtic's manager on a permanent basis, following talks with Dermot Desmond in London.
The 74-year-old will sign a one-year contract, with the option of a further year.

UPDATE: Martin O’Neill has agreed terms on a one-year deal to become the permanent manager of Celtic.
The 74-year-old indicated to principal shareholder Dermot Desmond that he wanted to take the job, during talks yesterday.
It’s deeply, deeply depressing the number of folk who are either wilfully ignorant about a genocide or really just don’t care about the slaughter.
Embracing ignorance and/or utterly lacking empathy, compassion or basic humanity, are not characteristics of which to be proud.
Putting them on full display in support of a millionaire’s choice to work in an apartheid state, by extension legitimising & supporting a rogue nation, a few miles away from a generational slaughter, is a level of callous indifference I just can’t comprehend.
You’re entitled to a different opinion and I’m entitled to be depressed and bewildered by it🤷♂️
...is the message from Celtic fans.
Robbie Keane is in the frame to be appointed as the next Celtic manager.
This would be another shameful act by a Celtic board who are in constant conflict with the club's supporters and the values of the club which are recognised worldwide.
Celtic Fans For The Liberation Of Palestine (CFLP) has released a statement opposing the potential appointment of Robbie Keane as Celtic FC's new manager:
“As Celtic fans, we oppose the proposed appointment of Robbie Keane as manager of Celtic Football Club.
Celtic supporters have a long and proud history of solidarity with the Palestinian people. For us, Robbie Keane’s decision to manage Maccabi Tel Aviv during the genocide in Gaza is impossible to ignore. To choose to manage a club in Israel while, less than 40 miles away, the same country was using indiscriminate weapons of mass murder against a defenceless people is unconscionable.
Celtic was founded by a community shaped by the legacy of genocide, displacement and famine. Our club’s roots lie in solidarity with those who suffered injustice and oppression. We cannot forget where we came from, nor turn our backs on those facing genocide today.
At a time when Celtic requires unity and collective purpose, this appointment would be deeply divisive among the support. It would also represent a predictable and uninspiring choice at a moment when greater ambition is needed.
We urge the Celtic board to listen to supporters’ concerns and reconsider this appointment.”
1/This video was taken in Nov. 2023, when Robbie Keane was manager of Maccabi Tel Aviv. Its first team is being shown a video of soldiers (staff) firing rockets during a genocide against Palestinians as a motivational exercise. They applaud it.
I understand the emotion around a huge penalty decision in a massive game. Football does that to people.
But at some point emotion has to give way to evidence. When freeze frames, angles and clear contact are sitting right in front of us, denying it because it doesn’t suit your team or narrative just kills any honest debate.
What’s even worse is when professionals and pundits, who know the game inside out, deliberately drive a narrative to suit an agenda rather than analyse what’s actually in front of them. That only fuels tribalism and misinformation.
You can debate consistency. You can debate interpretation. But you can’t just ignore unrefutable evidence because it’s inconvenient. Football discussion is far better when honesty matters more than point scoring.
Let me get this straight. The rise in antisemitic attacks in Britain has NOTHING to do with Israel's (self proclaimed only Jewish state) litany of war crimes in recent years but IS connected to the protests and marches opposing those war crimes. Perfect. Got it.
@HobbesGhirl We got through at 10.09 and it doesn’t let you reassign tickets. Had 3 different sets of tickets and all have timed out. Shows an error but doesn’t tell you what it is. They need to patch it for today and do it tomorrow. Can’t expect people to sit on this all day
