Martin O'Neill says Celtic job depends on results, not fan meetings

Martin O'Neill has insisted that his future as Celtic manager depends on results rather than meetings with supporters, following a gathering with fans in Greenock earlier this week.

The 74-year-old attended the meeting alongside members of the club's board on Monday, giving supporters the opportunity to raise concerns about Celtic's recent performances and the direction of the club. O'Neill described the questions as fair and said the board had attempted to answer them as honestly as possible.

However, the experienced manager was clear that attending such events would not determine his position at Celtic. "My job doesn't depend on going to meetings like that. My job depends on results. It really does, and I cannot forget that," he said.

O'Neill acknowledged that the club are going through a difficult period, with confidence low following a disappointing run of performances. Celtic had lost six of their previous 10 matches in all competitions ahead of Thursday's Europa League meeting with Besiktas.

The manager also revealed that he would be willing to attend similar meetings in the future if his schedule allowed. He remains focused on improving results, with Celtic looking to get their Europa League campaign back on track after losing their opening three matches.
