Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane Celtic rumours addressed after 'leaked' document

Celtic have not made contact with Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane despite suggestions on social media, according to a report.

A leaked document appeared to show Celtic announcing that former Hoops boss O'Neill replace Neil Lennon in the dugout.

Long-time assistant boss Keane would join him at Celtic Park with a deal being signed until the end of the season.

But the Daily Record report that there is no truth in the rumours and Lennon will definitely remain in charge of the club for the upcoming Europa League game against AC Milan.

The report states that the leaked document has been confirmed as ‘completely false’ and Celtic haven’t reached out to the ex-Ireland boss to take over in the role.

Meanwhile, former Celtic striker Charlie Nicholas insists Lennon should be axed because he hasn't 'earned the right' to be Hoops boss.

"Neil is a lucky, lucky boy to have had the privilege to manage Celtic on two occasions.

"On the first occasion, he didn't earn it. He got it on the back of Tony Mowbray being sacked.

"Mowbray had been made promises by the Celtic board, who are also under scrutiny now, and they reneged on them.

"That board didn't deliver and then turned to Lenny, ironically after a Ross County defeat.

"He did a fine job and he got them off and running towards Nine In A Row but it was never the most taxing job in the world.

"Also, when Neil came back, he didn't earn the right to become Celtic manager."
