Nancy to take charge of Celtic for Hearts clash
Martin O'Neill confirmed the midweek clash against Dundee will be his final game as Celtic's interim boss, with Wilfried Nancy set to take the reins for the first time.
O'Neill returned to the club that he led to three Scottish Premiership titles between 2000-2001 and 2003-2004 in October, after the resignation of Brendan Rodgers.
Celtic has won six and lost one of its seven games under the 73 year-old, with Midtjylland inflicting his only defeat, in the Europa League.
The 2-1 victory at Hibernian took the Hoops within two points of Premiership leader Hearts, having been eight points adrift of the summit when O'Neill returned.
O'Neill had expected that game to be his last, with Columbus Crew's MLS Cup and Leagues Cup-winning coach Nancy waiting to take the reins.
But a delay in the finalisation of that move means Nancy will not be in charge until Sunday's top-of-the-table showdown with Hearts, with O'Neill getting one final game at the helm.
"He is the man that will be coming in," O'Neill said when asked about reports linking Nancy with the vacancy.
"I thought it was over on Sunday, but there's some paperwork still to be dealt with. Wednesday will definitely be my final game.
"It's been surreal. It's like a part of your life where you think, 'did that really happen?' Am I delighted that I've done it? Absolutely."
Though a meeting with the league leader will represent a baptism of fire for the 48 year-old Frenchman, O'Neill is confident he will prove up to the test.
"It's a nice one for him, a nice introduction," O'Neill said.
"It will be a difficult game, of course, and naturally I wish him well. At least he's getting a side with a bit of confidence."
