“In October, I was having coffee on the King’s Road in London, enjoying retirement. I thought the days of me here at Celtic Park lifting trophies were well and truly gone.

“It has been really sensational for me. I really can’t believe it.”

Given the regard in which he is held by Celtic supporters, there will inevitably be questions as to whether O’Neill continues in the role next season.

When asked directly amid the post-match celebrations at Parkhead, the former Leicester City, Aston Villa and Sunderland manager refused to commit.

“I genuinely don’t know,” he reported. “Has anybody talked to me? No, but I wasn’t expecting that. There will be time for conversations after the cup final.

“I’m pretty old so it does take it out of you. I’m a bit-part in proceedings. They see me every day the players, this old man, and think ‘what’s he doing here?’

“This is the most special place on earth. When there is absolute unison in this stadium, it is a sight to behold.

“Obviously the players have been magnificent, epitomised by the captain, but we could not have won it without [the fans]. I’m delighted for them.

“Let’s see what next week brings.”
