Interim boss Martin O'Neill has been speaking to the media before Celtic host Dundee in the Premiership on Wednesday night.
Here are the key points:
O'Neill confirms the game will "definitely" be his last in charge before Wilfried Nancy takes the reins.
The 73-year-old has "no complaints" about stepping aside: "That was the remit. Whether I was going to last two weeks or five or six weeks, that was always going to be the case. A young gentleman's coming in and it's over to him, but obviously we've got a big game here tomorrow evening and I'd like to win it if we can."
On the chance to bid the fans farewell at full-time: "Everybody has an ego of some description and mine is probably bigger than most. But it's about trying to win the game really. Whatever comes or goes after that, I just think the nice thing about the players is they've responded and have shown a willingness to show some of the things I think are important about the game."
O'Neill is full of praise for the players' "terrific" response to his demands.
On how his opinion has changed on players since taking charge: "When I was watching Celtic from afar, you can form an opinion about players and then find out that when you're actually working with them, that's different, either good or bad. For instance, the captain (Callum McGregor). I thought from afar that the captain was a really good player. I didn't realise how good he is. Some players who have played almost every single minute of games here have been absolutely outstanding for us."
O'Neill does not intend to offer Nancy any advice but says: "I have no objection to him coming in and asking me my opinion."
The Northern Irishman is "delighted" he was asked back two decades after leaving Celtic and is "delighted with the outcome", particularly the Europa League win away to Feyenoord, which was "big" for the club and Scottish football.
O'Neill says he harbours no disappointment that he won't be in charge for the League Cup final against St Mirren on 14 December.
On what he might tell Nancy: "I think the the first thing that you should do is just check the history of the club and that's something for instance even I did when I went to Wycombe Wanderers."
On what the future holds for himself: "I really don't know. I'll have time to think about it. It's my last opportunity to say that the coaching staff have been terrific for me and it would be nice to see those boys to find their coaching ability, which has been really terrific, somewhere if it's not with the incoming manager, who I'm sure will have his own squad and quite rightly so."
On skipper Callum McGregor: "Not only does he lead by example but he is vociferous as well during the coaching and he has got the utmost respect from all the team, and that goes for all of us here in the club."
