    Celtic should already know if they want him to stay or not. They should know whether O'Neill wants to stay or not.

    For me, they should have got a deal done for Motherwell's Jen Berthel Askou before Toulouse did.

    I don't want to be ageist, I'm no spring chicken myself. But saying the season doesn't start tomorrow...the planning should have started weeks ago.

    The job won't stop, it will be all-consuming. I don't expect to see Engels or Maeda playing for Celtic next season. There's a huge rebuild needing done.

    I don't think he'll be the Celtic manager next year. Whether he wants to stay around and have an influence, I don't know.

    But he's enhanced his status at the football club.

    Some supporters seem to be keen to see Martin O'Neill back in the dugout next term...

    Of course he should stay he was brought back to win matches, and most importantly trophies, after a slump in performances because of the previous manager who was a disaster. The bonus of bringing Martin back in has resulted in winning the double an incredible achievement in such a short space of time.

    Age is only a number. Martin clearly still has all the ability he had 20 years ago. A born winner. If he wants it, it should be his.

    Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has had another word with BBC Scotland about his future: "If the season was to start tomorrow, I couldn't do it.

    "But the season doesn't start tomorrow. The Scottish season does start quickly though, and I'm getting old.

    "What I have, is a passion for the game. I don't think that will ever leave me, even in my final days. That's always been me. I have a desire to win.

    "I've done the learning in the last three or four months. Some tactics I saw befuddled me, but I'm learning. It's good at my age."

    Martin O'Neill is chatting to Kheredine Idessane on Radio Scotland's Sportsound.

    He's trying to pin him down on whether he wants to stay. A valiant effort, but the 74-year-old is not committing to anything right now.

    Probably sensibly...

    Iron Man couldn't rebuild Celtic next season, so many of the best players are leaving. Martin O'Neill should enjoy a successful retirement.

    The answer [to if O'Neill should stay] is yes. You can't do any more than he's done.

    It's an exceptional achievement. If he wants to do it - and I don't know if he wants it -he should stay, and I don't see why they wouldn't keep him.

    It all depends if he's got the energy. He's talked about that in the past, it is burning a lot of energy.

    He's getting a little bit older. It's up to Martin what he does.

    FT: Celtic 3-1 Dunfermline Athletic

    On whether he could be staying at Celtic next season, O'Neill adds: "There were no discussions about that at all.

    "Next week I might get to speak to the owner. If you're asking me if I could step in after a three-day holiday, I wouldn't have that about me.

    "Dermot Desmond brought me back in the first place, I owe him a great deal otherwise I wouldn't be here."

    Celtic manager Martin O'Neill tells BBC Scotland: "It's definitely not my final, it's Celtic football club's final.

    "I have had a bit-part to play in proceedings. The game has changed a wee bit since I first managed and some of the things we coach so I've had to learn. I've been doing a lot of learning in the last three or four months.

    "You're on the periphery then suddenly you're thrown into the middle of it and you get a perverse enjoyment from it when you win things.

    "When we lost at Dundee United it felt winning things was far away. If Junior [Adamu] hadn't scored a goal in the last seconds against Dundee we wouldn't be here. So I'm delighted to be here and delighted to win.

    "We had a lot of possession in the first half but I knew the adversary would never leave us alone. When I had Lennon as a player, he was one of the great players and he's proved himself as a great, great manager."

    Martin O'Neill certainly doesn't rule out returning next season.

    He tells the BBC he'll hopefully get the chance to speak to major shareholder Dermot Desmond next week.

    We'll bring you his quotes shortly...

    Celtic right-back Alistair Johnston tells BBC Scotland: "Martin O'Neill easily could've stayed home but he wanted to come back and help the club out.

    "We're so thankful he did because he made a world of difference when he came back.

    "I think that is completely up to him [if he wants to stay at the club]. Everyone here knows how much we appreciate him. He has earned the right to go home and take a couple of weeks to think about it.

    "He's got the energy for it, I can see him coming back for sure.

    "It's been a tough season, the injuries, a lot of things that have gone on behind the scenes here. The chance to be back for the last month, it gave me something to push for. I'm just glad to have played a small part in this. They fought tooth and nail on numerous occasions.

    "This club is full of winners and we know how to get it over the line when we need to."

    Celtic goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo tells BBC Scotland: "As a group of players and staff, and fans, we've had a tough year.

    "To top off the season with a double is special. It's a special group with a special mentality and I'm so proud to be a part of it.

    "I want to play here and long may that continue. Who wouldn't want to play here? It's amazing. It's a special place to work and play football.

    "It's going to be an interesting summer but I'm already excited to get back in the first day of pre-season."

    On Martin O'Neill's future at Celtic, Sinisalo added: "He's not bad is he?

    "What he's done to the whole group in terms of instilling that confidence and belief is a job like no other. We all love him. We've been really glad to have him. Let's see what happens, I can't say much more than that."

    A year ago, Callum McGregor was in tears after missing in the shootout as Celtic lost the Scottish Cup to Aberdeen.

    He was in tears last week for a very different reason, and he's now soaking up his seventh Scottish Cup win.

    I don't think he ever gets tired of winning...

    "Probably off the back of a difficult season, everything the team has had to go through it makes it all the sweeter.

    "Second half wasn't great but we did a lot of the work in the first half.

    "December time nobody would have given you a hope. It just shows you the mentality and the character of the team. It's a tough season but so rewarding.

    "Martin O'Neill has been fantastic since he came back in. He's been backed up by amazing staff members. I'm sure he will be involved in some capacity. The team have been fantastic, he drove them on and he can enjoy his summer as well."
