Celtic have announced that Shaun Maloney, Mark Fotheringham and Stephen McManus will continue to work under manager Martin O’Neill next season.<\/b><\/p>\n

O’Neill’s return on a permanent basis was confirmed on 11 June, with the 75-year-old agreeing a one-year contract with the option for a further year.<\/p>\n

Maloney and McManus stepped up from other roles within the club to assist O’Neill during his two interim stints last term, while former Huddersfield Town boss Fotheringham was added to the group.<\/p>\n

Coach Gavin Strachan has recently departed for a post at West Bromwich Albion.<\/p>\n

Having replaced Brendan Rodgers, then Wilfried Nancy, O’Neill, who first managed the club between 2000-05, steered Celtic to a league and Scottish Cup double.<\/p>\n

“Everybody at the club played their part in our achievements last season and we now look ahead as again we strive together to bring our supporters more success,” said O’Neill in a brief statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
