Celtic determined to keep O'Neill

Celtic say they expect Martin O'Neill to stay at the club.

O'Neill is regarded as one of the front-runners for the Leeds job following David O'Leary's departure.

But a Celtic spokesman insisted no approach from Leeds had been made for O'Neill.

He said: "Celtic will not comment in detail or otherwise on speculation linking the players or the manager with a move to another club.

"Martin O'Neill has been constantly linked with moves back down south, especially with Manchester United, since he joined Celtic.

"The manager has consistently said that he has a three-year contract with Celtic that he fully intends to honour.

"That deal still has a year to run and we fully expect Martin O'Neill to see out that contract."
