Martin O'Neill Addresses Questions on His Future as Celtic Boss After Latest Setback
O’Neill said he will speak to the board as criticism grows after Celtic’s third straight poor result, with Rangers closing to within 2 points.
On Saturday, Celtic suffered a 1-0 defeat to Rangers at Parkhead, intensifying scrutiny of manager Martin O'Neill's future following a third consecutive loss.
Rangers secured victory through a 32nd-minute strike from Ryan Naderi, leaving O'Neill's side trailing Derek McInnes's team by two points in the Premiership.
Former player Chris Sutton criticized the performance on Sky Sports, stating "Rangers were better in every department," while O'Neill admitted he is "not immune from criticism."
The 74-year-old manager will not see the majority of his players for over two weeks during the international break, with Neil Lennon noting that O'Neill "is hurting."
O'Neill promised to provide clarity on his future after reflecting on the games and speaking with the board, having previously served as interim boss during two stints last season.
