The Story in 60 Seconds

Former Manchester United forward Teddy Sheringham has backed Celtic manager Martin O'Neill to turn the club's poor run of form around. Celtic entered the international break following three consecutive defeats, including two losses in the Old Firm derby, which prompted the 77-year-old manager to briefly question his future at the club.

Sheringham dismissed suggestions that O'Neill will walk away, citing his extensive football knowledge and background under Brian Clough as key assets to restore success. Despite recent struggles, Celtic remain top of the Scottish Premiership and retain control of their Europa League campaign.
