As Celtic defeated Feyenoord 3-1 in the Europa League, Martin O’Neill gave them a farewell gift. The 73-year-old wanted to end his career on a high note, and he succeeded, as Wilfried Nancy was scheduled to take over permanently.Ayase Ueda scored the first goal, but the Hoops were ahead at the break thanks to goals from Hyun Jun Yang and Reo Hatate. It was a nightmarish start in Rotterdam. Benjamin Nygren, who came off the bench, scored a third goal off the underside of the bar to give Celtic their first victory in the Netherlands since 2001—a game that O’Neill was also in charge of. Despite their luck in the second half, Celtic persevered.
