Martin O’Neill fires back at Tom English’s ‘tired’ claim as Celtic boss launches defence

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has responded to comments made by journalist Tom English, who described the 74-year-old boss as "tired" following Celtic's recent defeat to Ferencvaros. O'Neill strongly rejected the claim, asserting that he still possesses the enthusiasm and energy required for the role despite his age and a recent illness.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's reverse Glasgow Derby, O'Neill defended his position and stated he still has the stomach for a fight. He acknowledged that he is not exempt from criticism and admitted that his future at Celtic ultimately depends on winning football matches.
