Martin O'Neill knows Celtic are in for a "big, big fight" as the veteran manager bids to revive the champions following the departure of Wilfried Nancy.
Describing his return as a "wee bit strange", the 73-year-old will be back in the dugout for Saturday's home game with Dundee United.

And O'Neill must lift a side that has won just two of the eight games played since his previous interim period ended to make way for Nancy.
"I used the phrase restoration of confidence when I first came in and I suppose that will be the message again," he told CelticTV.
"The players can play.
"The lovely thing about it is that players you know are very fine footballers can come back and play in the manner they have done in the past.
"We know we are in a big, big fight. We're going to try and win the league and it won't be easy. We have to be up to the challenge."
