Callum McGregor has backed Martin O'Neill to be well in the running for the Celtic manager's post next season, should he deliver a league and cup double in the next month.
Celtic, currently just three points behind the league leaders, secured a spot in the Scottish Cup Final last weekend.
McGregor is full of praise for the 74-year-old manager.
During a post-split event, McGregor said: "I don't think anyone can actually underestimate how good a job he's done.
"He's pulled the club back together when it was fractured.
"He's overseen a run of really good results, performances have been getting better all the time, and that's from a disjointed start point.
"It's never ever been perfect, but the job is to win games, and he's shown that in spades."
"He's shown he can do it, he can get a tune out of the players, and if you do go on and be successful, and hopefully we can go and win the cup as well, then what an amazing season.

On the veteran manager's future at the club, McGregor continued, "Then, as you said, it states his credentials for the job moving forward.
"The one thing that I will say is the players are fully behind him, Shaun (Maloney), Fozzy (Mark Fotheringham), Gav (Wallace), and Mick (Stephen McManus).
McGregor said: "They've been amazing over their two spells, so the players would ultimately back that.
"What a great job he would have done, if we do stand with two trophies at the end of the season."
