10 Greatest Ever Celtic Managers

4. Billy McNeill

Anyone taking charge of Celtic feels fortunate to be given just the one opportunity to manage one of the most famous clubs in football, but Billy McNeill was handed the gig on two occasions. The former midfielder would win four leagues and four cup competitions during a collective total of nine years at Celtic in a managerial capacity. His first stint is considered the most productive of the two, with Celtic winning a trophy in each of his five years. Upon his return after time at Manchester City and Aston Villa, he would win the league and cup double at Celtic celebrated their 100th year in existence, but they failed to finish in the top two in the following three seasons. It did not tarnish the standing of a man who spent 18 years at Celtic as a player and almost a decade as a manager, but it was enough to keep him out of our top three.
