Our last two choices pick themselves really, don't they? Celtic had gone through two seasons with just a League Cup to their name when Martin O'Neill arrived in Glasgow in the summer of 2000. Despite impressing at Leicester City, the Northern Irishman was untested at a major side but he would soon prove the most important appointment in the club's history. In his first year, Celtic easily out-performed Rangers to win the SPL by 15 points and achieve the domestic treble, before they achieved 103 points during O'Neill's second season. O'Neill would miss out on a third successive crown after being denied by ONE GOAL after both Celtic and Rangers had finished level on 97 points, but the season would be remembered for the club's run to the UEFA Cup final. The likes of Stuttgart and Liverpool would be defeated on the way to a Seville final with Porto, but Celtic would lose in heartbreaking circumstances as they conceded a late goal in extra-time to fall to a 3-2 defeat. Losing both the league title and the club's first European final in 33 years could have had a long-lasting effect on the club, but O'Neill ensured that they were two blips in an otherwise highly-successful period. He would win his third league title 12 months later as Rangers finished 17 points adrift, and although O'Neill would fail to make it a fourth triumph in his final year at the club - this time missing out by just a solitary point - there is no doubting that during some of the most competitive years ever seen in Scottish football, O'Neill's influence kept Celtic as the biggest club in the city.
