The Austrian has been under immense pressure at Selhurst Park for the majority of the 2025-26 campaign, and it could all come to a head before the end of the campaign.

According to Fabrizio Romano (20 February), Glasner and the Palace board are in discussions over his future on Friday, 20 February, which could bring a sorry end to his tenure in South East London.

He had become a legend at the club after helping the Eagles to lift the FA Cup last season – the club’s first-ever major trophy – but things appear to have gone sour due to his comments in the media.

Glasner has spoken openly about not being backed by Steve Parish and the rest of the board, a situation which blew up after Marc Guehi nearly joined Liverpool in the 11th hour during the summer transfer window.

Oliver Glasner has an outside chance of becoming Celtic’s next manager

With Martin O’Neill making it clear that he has no ambitions to remain at Celtic Park beyond the end of the season, the board must make a key decision on who takes over for the 2026-27 campaign.

Ange Postecoglou has already ruled out a dramatic return, with Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez currently the favourite to lead the Hoops into next season.

The Hoops must make the right decision this time around.

Wilfried Nancy lasted just eight games, or 33 days, in charge, winning just 25 per cent of them.

With Glasner priced at 33/1 to be Celtic’s manager for when the 2026-27 campaign kicks off, it is clearly not very likely, but the bookmakers believe that there is a slim chance.

What is the state of play in the Scottish Premiership title race?

After losing 4-1 to VfB Stuttgart in their Europa League round of 32 first leg, the advancement to the next round in Europe appears to be off the table, even with another 90 minutes to play.

Therefore, all focus should be on the Scottish Premiership title race, with the top three teams separated by just three points after 27 games, with Celtic having a game in hand.

While the players do their jobs on the pitch, those behind the scenes need to work on finding the next permanent manager. O’Neill is unlikely to still be at the helm come next season.

The 73-year-old has done a stellar job since taking over the reins again, but should the board somehow be able to land Glasner’s signature, it would be an absolute no-brainer for the 55-time league champions.
