  • Celtic boss Martin O'Neill deserves a statue but he ISN'T right for permanent Hoops job

    Celtic boss Martin O'Neill deserves a statue but he ISN'T right for permanent Hoops job
    2026/05/27
    A chaotic Scottish domestic season has come to an end - but there's still so much for Bill Leckie and Robert Grieve to get their teeth into on The Set Piece sponsored by ScotMid.Robert was first with the big news on Saturday evening that Lawrence Shankland was swapping Hearts for Rangers - so it's only right that the guys start by running the rule over every facet of that transfer, not least where exactly the Jambos go from here.But there's weighty matters to consider on the other side of the city too, where Robert and Bill reckon Martin O'Neill deserves a statue but the Hoops would be making a mistake if they decided the 74-year-old should become the next permanent manager of Celtic.That apart, they rake over St Mirren's Premiership survival - and ask if Oli McBurnie has a point after Steve Clarke snubbed Hull City's £200m goal hero from his Scotland World Cup squad.
