Martin O'Neill, the new manager of Celtic FC, has successfully lifted a weight off his shoulders with his side's convincing 4-0 win over Falkirk in their first match under his leadership. The Northern Irishman, who was brought in just hours after Brendan Rodgers' departure and after some major shareholder Dermot Desmond dropped a bombshell by announcing that he had been appointed as the team's new manager until the end of the season.
Despite some initial doubts about O'Neill's ability to turn around Celtic FC's struggling fortunes, his side showed great promise against Falkirk, scoring four goals in the process. The 4-0 win is a significant confidence booster for the team and marks a welcome return to form after several recent losses.
O'Neill himself expressed satisfaction with the result, saying that he was "really pleased" and that Celtic had "played some delightful stuff". He also mentioned that his anxiety had calmed somewhat, which suggests that he may have been feeling some pressure in the lead-up to the match. The new manager also praised his players for their performance, noting that they played "some really good football".
The win over Falkirk narrows the gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, and Celtic FC now find themselves just six points behind leaders Hearts. Next up for O'Neill and his side will be a League Cup semi-final against Rangers, which promises to be an even tougher challenge.
However, with their latest victory under their belt, there is certainly optimism that Celtic FC are back on the right track. As O'Neill joked about potentially leaving the job if he didn't get some results soon, it seems clear that his side is eager to prove themselves and make a strong push for the title.
