As far as impact goes, O’Neill has absolutely risen to the challenge.
Celtic were in something of disarray after Brendan Rodgers departed, eight points behind Hearts with a clear fracture between supporters and the board.
To say he has steadied the ship is an understatement. A 100% record in the Premiership has closed right up on Hearts and now Nancy will have the chance to move into top spot this weekend.
What a turnaround in fortunes, with a cup final to follow and a real shot at Europa League progression.
It will be quite the task for Nancy to follow that, particularly with a run of Hearts, Roma and then the League Cup final against St Mirren to come. Quite the opening week.
For Dundee, getting anything was always unlikely
They had a significant boost by beating St Mirren in their previous fixture and that gave them a small cushion above the bottom placed sides. No damage done here.
They were attacking and their goals came from players taking responsibility and delivering. They’ll need to lean on that more often.
All three of their league wins have come at home and that is something they need to build on starting with their upcoming fixture at Dens Park.
