Celtic Football Club has made an exciting announcement revealing that the legendary Martin O’Neill will be gracing the upcoming Celtic Player of the Year Awards with his presence. O’Neill, who led the club to multiple domestic titles and an impressive UEFA Cup Final appearance during his time as manager, will be presenting an award at the prestigious gala event set to take place on Sunday, May 12.
The timing of the awards ceremony is particularly interesting, as it falls just after a potentially crucial Glasgow Derby matchup where Celtic could further solidify their lead in the Premiership standings if they emerge victorious against their arch-rivals, Rangers. However, before focusing on that high-stakes clash, Celtic must navigate through important matches against Dundee and Hearts to maintain their winning momentum.
Aside from the excitement surrounding O’Neill’s attendance, the event will also feature a star-studded lineup of former Celtic luminaries who will be presenting awards, including fan favorites such as Ronny Deila, Chris Sutton, Aiden McGeady, Shaun Maloney, Charlie Mulgrew, Stan Petrov, and John Hartson. The anticipation is building for what promises to be a memorable evening filled with celebrations of the season’s standout performances, with hosts Des Clarke and Sebahn Aherne adding to the festive atmosphere.
As fans eagerly await the awards night, the stage is set for an unforgettable event that will undoubtedly be a highlight for Celtic supporters and players alike. The combination of past glory with present talent promises to make this year’s Player of the Year Awards a truly special occasion in the club’s rich history.
