O'Neill set for confirmation as Celtic's summer rebuild begins

Martin O'Neill is set to be confirmed as Celtic's permanent manager after agreeing a one-year deal, a decision sources describe as a "no-brainer" after the 74-year-old rescued a domestic double from a season that was veering off course under Wilfried Nancy (1). O'Neill stabilized the side and delivered both the Premiership and the Scottish Cup, but the hard work starts now, a major summer rebuild is on the cards. Reo Hatate has made it known he wants out, Benjamin Nygren has hinted at a departure despite being one of the Hoops' standout performers, and Michel-Ange Balikwisha appears to have no future at the club after a disappointing campaign. Celtic are already moving, with interest in Rodez striker Tairyk Arconte, Hungarian international Milan Vitalis, and Go Ahead Eagles goalkeeper Jari De Busser among the names being tracked (1).
