Interim manager Martin O'Neill says the possibility of Celtic ending the campaign without a trophy should serve as a wake-up call for the football club. The former manager returned to take charge following the departure of Brendan Rodgers in February 2026. Celtic currently trail rivals Rangers in the Scottish Premiership title race after a recent run of inconsistent results.
O'Neill believes the current situation highlights a need for the club to address its long-term direction, according to Sky Sports. The interim boss noted that the squad must improve its performance levels to remain competitive for honours. He suggested that failure to win silverware would be a significant setback for the Glasgow side, per STV News.
Celtic were eliminated from the Scottish Cup earlier this season and failed to progress in European competition. O'Neill's comments come as the club begins its search for a permanent successor to Rodgers. The board intends to review the first-team structure during the summer break.
