Martin O'Neill: right choice, or just kicking it down the road? Former STV political editor and lifelong Celtic supporter Bernard Ponsonby tells Peter Martin why O'Neill is "not your two to five-year project", why the club has earned credit for a quarter of a century of dominance, and why Dermot Desmond's silence costs him credibility: "And then he sends his plenipotentiary to the AGM to read the riot act." Plus the statement on the night Brendan Rodgers resigned, a season of "supporters actually falling out with one another", and what Desmond should do next. From Straight Talk, first published in June 2026.
