170 days after the double, after Falkirk 2-0 Celtic, the Celtic support is turning on Martin O'Neill. Peter Martin, Alan Rough, Tam McManus and Alex Rae on The Football Show LIVE (2 November): Cameron Carter-Vickers' early error, Falkirk's first chance to beat Celtic in 19 years ("in the end they were worthy winners"), Beşiktaş on Thursday, and whether the board will push O'Neill out.
Will Celtic sack Martin O'Neill?
Peter's prediction: the board "will orchestrate it in such a way that they'll give him his money and say Martin has decided to step down".
Is it all Martin O'Neill's fault?
"I think he's been absolutely exposed and left with a team that he didn't want." From the panel: "it's got to be Martin that makes the decision really."
Is 75 too old to manage Celtic?
Alan Rough, nearly 75 himself: "I'm still 74."
Who would replace Martin O'Neill?
McKenna would cost "something like 7 or 8 million pound" in compensation, and Eddie Howe "will not take it".
What should Celtic fans ask Dermot Desmond at the AGM?
The 77 million pounds in the bank, the recruitment policy, Europe, the communication with supporters, and "How are you able to wield that influence".
Should O'Neill go, or should the board? Tell us below.
