O'Neill Says Anti-Board Chanting Doesn't Help Celtic

On Saturday, Celtic interim manager Martin O'Neill urged unification after a stoppage-time win in Paisley amid ongoing anti-board chants by supporters.
The day before the match, Celtic's AGM was ended early after an angry reaction to remarks by Ross Desmond, son of principal shareholder Dermot Desmond, with the club citing about 40 people organised by the Celtic Trust and the Green Brigade causing substantial disruption.
O'Neill said he 'probably doesn't think so, but I'm not sure' whether unrest affects players and added, 'you have to know your place' on mediation.
Supporters' groups say the Celtic Fans Collective accused the Celtic board of open contempt and said Ross Desmond's speech profoundly provoked supporters, marking a low point in fan relations.
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson noted Saints have now taken one point from six Premiership matches and said, `The boys haven't lost confidence.
