Celtic are known as the most successful club in Scottish football history and for good reason. It is almost impossible to spend any meaningful amount of time at the club and not end up winning anything.

Some have managed it over the years though. In fact, one individual spent four years as a player and then one as a manager at Celtic Park, and does not have a single winner's medal to show for it.

The person we are talking about is none other than Tony Mowbray, in case you did not guess it already.

Mowbray was at Celtic from 1991 to 1995, one of the most difficult periods in the Hoops' history.

Celtic did win the Scottish Cup in 1995, there first trophy in six years at the time. But Mowbray did not get a medal because he did not feature in the final.

Mowbray would return to Celtic as manager in the 2009/10 season but once again, it was a trophyless one for the Hoops.

So, why the sudden talk about Mowbray? Well, it is because the 62-year-old finds himself back in the headlines.

He has been announced as the new manager of Blackburn Rovers. It is a return to Ewood Park for the former Celtic boss.

Mowbray spent more than five years managing Blackburn Rovers from 2017 to 2022. After leaving, he never found his feet at any other clubs.

He had spells at Sunderland, Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion. But none of them were very long, and not particularly successful either.

On the other hand, Blackburn Rovers have been through their tough times lately as well. They narrowly avoided getting relegated from the Championship last season, having finished 20th in the table.

So, they have decided to go for the tried-and-tested option in Mowbray to steady the ship.

Of course, Celtic had a managerial decision to make this summer themselves. And much like Blackburn Rovers, the Hoops have also gone for the tried-and-tested option.

O'Neill will be named the permanent manager of the club, having enjoyed two successful interim spells in the 25/26 campaign, guiding a struggling Celtic side to a Premiership and Scottish Cup double.

Now, at 74 years of age, O'Neill finds himself back at the helm of Celtic Football Club. That is a turn of events absolutely nobody could have seen coming, even six months ago.

Celtic will now need to focus on the summer rebuild that awaits and give O'Neill a chance to improve upon the work he did last season with a weakened squad.
