I hope Killie Martin's last game in charge .I'd hate to see my old boss tarnish his legacy by staying on

Time for Celts to make a decision

- CHRIS SUTTON

MARTIN O'NEILL and Shaun Maloney announced as the permanent management team at Celtic.

Or a new boss and staff taken into Parkhead during the international break to get started.

Celtic need to be decisive. And be decisive now. It just needs to be one or the other and fast.

It can't just float along because there is too much resting on it.

There needs to be a clear plan and clear vision of what is going to happen in the next few months.

Let me put my cards on the table right now. With my hand on my heart, I hope my old boss finishes up after tomorrow's game against Kilmarnock.

Before anyone starts slaughtering me or saying I am not being fair, let me explain why.

Martin O'Neill is a legend at Celtic for what he did during my time there as a player.

I owe him plenty myself for signing me as I wouldn't have experienced the whole thing or enjoyed such a wonderful time in my career if he hadn't done that.

He walked back into the club in the wake of the Brendan Rodgers departure and he answered the call with Maloney placed at his side.

Now that's great. It was important to have someone who could unite the club, the fans and bring a bounce into the players.

That was achieved. The wins over Falkirk and against Rangers in the semifinal of the Premier Sports Cup ensured no damage done domestically in the very short term.
