Martin O'Neill and Shaun Maloney to continue with Celtic interim duties
Last updated 17th Nov 2025
Martin O'Neill and Shaun Maloney will continue to take interim charge of Celtic with the club's search for a permanent manager ongoing.
The Parkhead side have confirmed the pair will remain in post - but no timescale has been given for how long.
Brendan Rodgers resigned from his role three weeks ago with a successor yet to be found.
They return to action on Saturday in a night time kick-off away to St Mirren where O'Neill and Maloney could take to the dugout again.
A club statement read: "As Celtic Football Club continues with the process to appoint our next permanent manager, we can confirm that Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney will continue to manage first-team matters on an interim basis, until this process is complete. We will update supporters further as soon as possible."
O'Neill told CelticTV: “First things first, I enjoyed the couple of days off because it was a bit of a whirlwind fortnight beforehand, but if there’s not an announcement now in the next few days, then I’m happy to still be here for the weekend game against St Mirren.
“First of all, we want the players coming back from international matches unscathed, which is the most important thing for us just now, now that we’ve got a few injuries to contend with.
“So whatever sort of squad we had for the Kilmarnock game, I wouldn’t mind having roughly the same again, but we can only deal with what we have and what we want to do, and we just want to play as strongly as we possibly can. But let’s see what the next couple of days bring.”
