Celtic playing style question may have to wait until the summer

Writer Jamie Kemble argues that Celtic must address their lack of an attractive playing style, but any major philosophical shift will likely have to wait until the summer. Despite sitting atop the Scottish Premiership following a 2-1 victory over Hibernian, Celtic have faced criticism for pragmatic, scrappy performances under manager Martin O'Neill and assistant Shaun Maloney.

According to the analysis, Celtic's win-at-all-costs approach and congested schedule are sufficient for domestic success but prove inadequate in European competition. Kemble asserts that while O'Neill's pragmatic approach fits the squad's current talent limitations, the club must prioritize progressive football and align future recruitment when selecting their next permanent managerial appointment.
