"I think he's an excellent manager," O'Neill told Sky Sports News.



"I had a lot of rivalry with him when I was manager of Celtic and he was with Rangers.



"He would be terrific for the Premiership, he really would be.



"I can't pretend to know what he does in his training sessions or how he motivates his players, but he is able to do that.



"I know the Scottish players think a lot of him. They went very, very close to qualifying themselves."
