O’Neill may be heading out of here but he's left Celts feeling like kings as they pass latest trial with guts and clas

NEVER mind Ant and Dec in the Jungle.

Martin O'Neill is preparing to say “I'ma Celtic Caretaker Manager ... Get Me Out Of Here’.

But there's no doubt the Hoops legend is handing incoming Wilfried Nancy a much happier camp.

The last few weeks have been tougher than a bush tucker trial for the Northern Irishman - but hes earned a giant gold star for keeping the club on track at home and in Europe.

ONeill has rolled back the years and was at it again as he led Hoops to their first group stage win on the continent for four years - and a first win in Holland since his famous victory over Ajax back in 2001.

Celts had to doit the hard way in Rotterdam — coming back from a goal down to grab three precious points that sparks their Europa League campaign into life.

Its smoothed the way for Nancy’s arrival next week.

The Frenchman would have been watching - and there was a heck of a lot to like in a sensational win.

O'Neill's men recovered from going behind early on to Ayase Ueda's counterattack opener.

Yang Hyun-Jun tucked away a leveller after a slick move with Luke McCowan and Reo Hatate - before the latter scored after keeper Timon Wellenreuther was rattled by Daizen Maeda.

Celtic were in total control after the break - and Benjamin Nygren madeit 3-1 after a superb Coby Donovan charge to the byline.

Here’ the five big talking points as O'Neill received the perfect Euro send off...
