Celtic missed opportunity to hire Jens Berthel Askou, say analysts

Charlie Mulgrew and Kevin Thomson discussed the managerial choices at Celtic, focusing on Martin O’Neill's tenure amid a difficult period of only three wins in ten matches. On a podcast, Thomson highlighted the missed opportunity of not bringing in Jens Berthel Askou as a replacement for O'Neill. Mulgrew and Thomson expressed that O’Neill could have played a supportive role if Askou had been appointed, suggesting that the decision to retain O’Neill for a year with an option for a second year was a significant error. They believe Askou would have better utilized the club's resources and been the ideal successor to meet fan expectations.
