Celtic Faces Turmoil Amid Management Changes and Recent Defeats
St Mirren defeated Celtic in the Hampden Park final in a result described as not entirely surprising by Football Daily. Celtic's governance has faced criticism for its transfer-window frugality, an early exit from a cup competition, and an abandoned AGM after contentious conduct by Dermot Desmond’s son and Peter Lawwell.
Brendan Rodgers resigned as Celtic head coach, with Dermot Desmond publicly labeling him divisive and self-serving. Martin O’Neill was appointed interim head coach following Rodgers' departure, reportedly steadying the club both on and off the field. O’Neill revealed on TalkSport that he would have stayed longer and received calls from distraught Glaswegians who desired his return.
However, Celtic soon replaced O’Neill with a new head coach ahead of a sequence of important fixtures, ending his interim tenure. Wilfried Nancy, just eight days into his tenure, has overseen three consecutive defeats against Hearts, Roma, and St Mirren, leading to reports describing him as a “dead man walking.”
