I spoke to Celtic fan who is frightened to death of Martin O'Neill losing one thing

Tony Pulis relays a Celtic supporter's concern that manager Martin O'Neill could damage his legacy by staying too long, though former winger Scott Sinclair backs him to win the title.

Tony Pulis has shared comments from a Celtic fan expressing worry that manager Martin O'Neill might tarnish his legacy by remaining at the club beyond his peak. O'Neill returned to Celtic on an interim basis last season before taking permanent charge in the summer, guiding them to a Double. The club currently sits top of the Scottish Premiership after back-to-back league wins, though they've struggled in Europe with three consecutive losses and had consecutive defeats to Rangers before the international break.

Pulis told CasinoHawks that the supporter he spoke to, while acknowledging O'Neill is "an absolute legend" idolised by fans, fears the manager could lose that esteem the longer he remains. "He is frightened to death that Martin loses that esteem that he's got from the supporters the longer he goes on," Pulis said. However, Pulis also praised O'Neill's commitment and energy, noting Celtic's strong second-half performance in Europe.

Former Celtic winger Scott Sinclair countered the doubts, insisting O'Neill is the right man to lead them to another title. Sinclair, who won multiple trophies under Brendan Rodgers and Neil Lennon, acknowledged Rangers have improved but believes Celtic remain the team to beat. "Martin O'Neill is the right man to go and win another title," Sinclair told Andy's Bet Club, citing the manager's experience and track record of delivering silverware.
