Celtic Injury Scare as O’Neill Reveals Why Two-Goal Osmand Was Taken Off

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill confirmed that Callum Osmand was substituted at half-time during Celtic's 7-1 victory over Hearts due to hamstring discomfort. The forward had scored twice in the first half of his first Celtic start before being replaced by Jota as a precaution. O'Neill expressed optimism that Osmand could return for Thursday's Europa League match against Celta Vigo.

Writer Philip Cooney argues that Celtic must exercise caution and avoid rushing the former Fulham youngster back into action despite the importance of upcoming European fixtures. Cooney emphasizes that the club needs to protect the striker from further setbacks to maintain the momentum gained from his two-goal performance.
