Guidi Makes ‘100 Per Cent’ O’Neill Celtic Exit Claim: Was McKenna The Better Choice?

Celtic’s decision to appoint Martin O’Neill permanently has raised fresh questions about the club’s long-term managerial plans, particularly after pundit Mark Guidi backed Kieran McKenna for the job.

Speaking on the Go Radio Football Show, relayed via Celts Are Here , Guidi confidently predicted that O’Neill would leave at the end of the season and suggested McKenna was already lined up as his successor.

However, Celtic chose continuity instead, handing O’Neill a one-year contract with an option for another season. That decision followed an impressive interim spell. O’Neill guided Celtic through a difficult period after Brendan Rodgers’ departure and Wilfried Nancy’s disastrous tenure, restoring stability when the club desperately needed it.
