The Most Extraordinary Title Win in Celtic's Modern History
Celtic Football Club have been through more in a single season than most clubs experience in a decade.
The departure of Brendan Rodgers in October, followed by Martin O'Neill's first interim spell, the appointment and rapid dismissal of Wilfried Nancy after just 33 days and five defeats in seven games, O'Neill's return in January and then, against all expectation, a seventh consecutive league win on the final day of the season to claim the 56th Scottish Premiership title by two points from Hearts, who had led the league for 250 days.
It is one of the great final-day stories in Scottish football history. Now, the question of who manages Celtic next season has become one of the most compelling in British football.

O'Neill: The Legend Who Gave Celtic Life Again
The drama of Saturday's 3-1 victory over Hearts at Celtic Park will live long in the memory.
O'Neill, who had taken over with Celtic six points off the summit, won all seven of his league games in his second spell, conceding just one goal.
He delivered a fifth consecutive title and Celtic's 14th in the last 15 seasons.
The question of whether O'Neill continues into next season is the most delicate in Celtic's immediate future. He has been unambiguous about feeling "rejuvenated" by the experience and about the depth of his affection for the club.
He has been equally honest about the physical and emotional demands of management at 74, acknowledging that the role takes a toll and that any decision about his future must be made soberly and carefully.
Robbie Keane, Martinez and the Permanent Appointment the Club Needs
Robbie Keane at 11/4 is the most intriguing alternative in the market, and one that carries a compelling Celtic narrative of its own.
The former Republic of Ireland captain and all-time leading scorer is one of O'Neill's most trusted lieutenants, having served as his assistant during this turbulent season and built strong relationships with the playing squad throughout.
Roberto Martinez at 9/2 brings the European credibility and tactical sophistication that a club of Celtic's ambitions requires.
Oliver Glasner at 8/1 is perhaps the most surprising name in the market, but his departure from Palace at the end of the season means he is free for another role.
