Celtic could yet have another successful domestic season despite a rancorous and turbulent campaign. But is lots of change at the club inevitable even with success?

As Celtic prepare to face Rangers at Parkhead this Sunday, the roar from the stands will be deafening. For 90 minutes, every fan, player, and staff member will be united in a single purpose: securing another league title and keeping the dream of a domestic double alive.

But beneath the surface of this high-stakes showdown, a bigger question looms. Even if Celtic triumph, is change at the club inevitable?

This season has been anything but smooth. From Brendan Rodgers' acrimonious exit to Wilfried Nancy's short-lived eight-game spell, the Hoops have weathered a storm that would have sunk lesser clubs. Yet here they stand, still in contention for both the Premiership and the Scottish Cup, thanks largely to the steadying hand of Martin O'Neill.

The 74-year-old manager has been a revelation since coming out of retirement. In fact, his points-per-game average in the Premiership this season tops every other manager in the league. Some argue that if he had been at the helm since Rodgers left, Celtic would already have the title wrapped up.

But that raises the million-dollar question: has O'Neill done enough to earn the job permanently? And perhaps more importantly, does he even want it?

"I feel a sense of renaissance, coming back and working with young people," O'Neill told talkSPORT recently. "We'll have to see how we stand at the end of the season, and that's nearly upon us now."

His future isn't the only uncertainty. The club's football department structure remains unclear, boardroom unrest continues to simmer, and fans are demanding answers about the direction of the team. For a club that has enjoyed unprecedented domestic success, the threat of losing its grip on the title has sparked rancorous debate among supporters.

For now, all of that is on hold. When the players step onto the pitch this weekend, the focus will be singular: victory. The questions about next season, the boardroom, and the manager's future will have to wait.

But make no mistake—whether Celtic completes the double or falls short, change is coming. The only question is how much.
