Celtic confirm Wilfried Nancy’s arrival as Martin O’Neill signs off with victory

• O'Neill has been in interim charge since Rodgers' exit

• Celtic move level on points with Hearts after Dundee win

Celtic have appointed Wilfried Nancy, coach of Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer, as their new permanent manager to replace Brendan Rodgers, who was dismissed in October. He has signed a two-and-a-half year contract.

Interim manager Martin O'Neill signed off his spell in charge with a 1-0 home win over Dundee on Wednesday night which moved Celtic level on points with Hearts, who remain top of the Scottish Premiership on goal difference despite being held to a 1-1 draw at home to Kilmarnock. Celtic also have a game in hand on their title rivals.
