What Martin O’Neill said about Sam Johnstone has just made his call on McGregor even more baffling

67hailhail questions Martin O’Neill’s squad rotation strategy after Sam Johnstone started in goal for Celtic's victory against Hibernian over Viljami Sinisalo. O’Neill explained to Sky Sports that he is rotating goalkeepers to manage a heavy fixture schedule and help Johnstone adapt to conditions. However, the publication argues that rotating goalkeepers is unusual and creates unnecessary inconsistency.

The writer finds O’Neill's goalkeeper rotation especially puzzling compared to his handling of Celtic's midfield, where Callum McGregor and Benjamin Nygren continue playing full matches without rest. Despite visible fatigue and recent midfield struggles against Celta Vigo and Hibernian, players like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remained on the bench.
