Robbie Keane's future at Celtic appears uncertain as the club navigates managerial decisions following Martin O'Neill's tenure. O'Neill's statistics with Celtic show a strong record, with 27 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses in 35 matches, averaging 2.56 points per game and achieving a nine-match winning streak. He secured both the league title and the Scottish Cup with identical 3-1 victories.

Despite O'Neill's expressed doubts at the end of the season about his ability to continue leading the team, he ultimately signed a new 1+1 year contract with Celtic. This decision suggests a belief in his continued leadership, even as he voiced concerns about the demanding nature of the job. His enjoyment of the work was reportedly evident, contributing to the contract extension.

The article does not directly detail Robbie Keane's specific role or performance but places his situation within the context of O'Neill's management and contract. The implication is that Keane's own position may be influenced by the club's decisions regarding the manager. The provided text focuses heavily on O'Neill's past achievements and contract status, offering limited insight into Keane's current standing or the reasons for his potential departure from either the club or O'Neill's plans.
