===========================

It's been a whirlwind five weeks for Martin O'Neill on his return to Celtic but the job he's done in that tine has been nothing short of remarkable.

Five straight Scottish Premiership wins, a League Cup Semi victory over Rangers and a win on the road in the Europa League - and some thought he could have been in danger of tarnishing his legacy by returning...!

O'Neill deserves all the praise coming his way for what he's achieved - as do Shaun Maloney, Mark Fotherinbgham & Stephen McManus - but for him the most pleasing aspect will be where he now leaves us.

Last night's win over Dundee draws us level on points with Hearts at the top of the table, and with the Edinburgh side making their way to Celtic Park on Sunday its all to play for in Wilfried Nancy's first game.

If he makes a fraction of the impact on Celtic as O'Neill has then we can look forward to wait awaits us under the frenchman.
