Celtic are still in stop-gap mode exactly a year since the departure of Brendan Rodgers as manager, according to podcaster Tino Callaghan.

Martin O'Neill had two spells as interim manager last season, with Wilfried Nancy leaving after only 33 days, before taking the job permanently after winning the league and Scottish Cup double.

"I don't know if Martin O'Neill was ever going to be long term for Celtic and it still feels like he's not going to be long term," Callaghan told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.

"It still feels very much like this is a holding position for all concerned. Within that year, he's won a league and he's won a Scottish Cup as well, so not too bad.

"Things are six out of 10 at Celtic and I'm fully appreciative at this time. We're four points clear at the top of the league and this week's midweek card can see us extend that lead.

"But things are far from correct in terms of just the evolution of the club and the progress of the club and nothing tells you more about that than the constant European failure, with Celta Vigo being the latest.

"On the last day of the season, 16 May, everything did turn out fine and dandy. That was hands down one of the best days of my Celtic supporting life.

"But I think it should also have been, or least afforded, Martin O'Neill the perfect opportunity to sail off into the sunset.

"For whatever reason behind the scenes and you know from the man himself, Martin O'Neill decided to stay on and I respect that and I suppose he should potentially have been given the right to make that decision.

"But I wasn't entirely convinced it was the right call and I'm a massive Martin O'Neill fan. I thought it was the right time for a change.

"Martin O'Neill domestically is more than capable and I suppose our league position and the stats show 16 wins from 17 tell us that.

"But the Celtic squad is woefully inept when it comes to European football."
