"Image source, SNS An Old Firm semi-final is rarely a tepid affair and the Scottish League Cup final-four meeting between Celtic and Rangers did not disappoint. Celtic won 3-1 against 10-man Rangers after extra time to advance to the final against St Mirren - but there were wider narratives at play at Hampden for both clubs. Martin O'Neill is back as a caretaker manager at Celtic, and the win naturally increased thoughts - not least by the man himself - of the icon staying longer."
"Paul: Martin O'Neill has somehow miraculously rejuvenated and turned around these players. He should get the job until the end of the season judging on performances so far. Sean: I'd like O'Neill to at least have the remainder of the season in charge. The guy is a legend and I'd like to see him reach his 1,000-game milestone. Thank you Martin for returning and bringing the confidence along with the nostalgia."
