O'Neill not expecting Celtic extension talks
Martin O'Neill is not expecting to hold any talks about his Celtic future before this weekend's Scottish Cup final.
The 74 year-old was appointed as interim boss after the sacking of Wilfried Nancy, though he was not expected to lead the Bhoys to the Scottish Premiership title, with the team falling some way off the pace.
O'Neill became the second-oldest manager to win the Scottish top-flight title, behind a 77 year-old Bill Struth in 1952-1953 with Rangers.
Having won all five of his league games in his first stint of the season, which came after Brendan Rodgers' departure, O'Neill also won 14 of his 18 Premiership games after replacing Nancy.
Celtic could still complete a domestic double when it takes on Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish Cup final on Sunday.
O'Neill believes any talks regarding his future will take place after the showpiece, though he is not guaranteed to accept an offer to stay on.
"No, I don't think anything would be said," he said.
"We've got the big Scottish Cup final on Saturday and I don't think that anything would be discussed [before] then, nor was I expecting it to.
"If you were asking me today, I genuinely wouldn't have the energy to do it at this moment. I am fairly decent in terms of age. I'm going to see fewer days than I've seen.
"I definitely felt some sort of renaissance as much as anything else. And that hasn't left me as of today. I'm tired, but it hasn't left me as of today.
"Do I think that Celtic should offer me the job? I don't think that. Do I feel I've merited? Of course, I have."
