Martin O’Neill says he is only “keeping the seat warm” for a permanent Celtic manager and that he had to “pull myself up off the floor” when he was asked to take interim charge.
O’Neill, who left Celtic Park 20 years ago after a trophy-laden spell, will take over following Brendan Rodgers’ shock resignation on Monday.
That exit was followed by a blistering statement from major shareholder Dermot Desmond, who described Rodgers’ actions while in the job as “divisive, misleading, and self-serving”.
“I took a gasp of breath and asked if this was real,” the 73-year-old, whose first game will be at home to Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday, told TalkSport.
“It’s difficult to turn down someone who gave you the job in the first place when they had great options 25 years ago. By the time I pulled myself off the floor, I thought maybe I should do it.”
