Celtic will be "very active" with their recruitment in the coming weeks, insists interim chairman Brian Wilson. After Martin O'Neill was confirmed as permanent manager on a one-year deal on Thursday, Wilson was asked in a club interview if the 74-year-old would be given the resources to improve the squad.
