Martin O’Neill has returned to lead Celtic until the end of the season after the Scottish champions sacked Wilfried Nancy following six defeats in just eight games under the French manager.

By contrast, the 73-yearold O’Neill won seven out of eight games after being brought in as caretaker boss for eight games after Brendan Rodgers’ exit in October.

O’Neill, a full-time manager of the Glasgow giants from 2000-2005, stepped aside for Nancy in early December.

But Nancy was sacked on Monday after just eight games in charge, including six losses.
