Celtic’s 13% Warning Sign Exposes a Martin O’Neill Problem That Can’t Be Ignored

Phillip Cooney argues that a 13 percent drop in Celtic's possession highlights growing tactical issues under manager Martin O'Neill. According to analysis from The Huddle Breakdown, the club's average possession has declined from roughly 73 percent to 60 percent, alongside an increase in conceded opportunities.

The writer notes that this tactical shift was highlighted by a recent 1-0 home defeat to Rangers, where Celtic managed only three shots. Cooney asserts that O'Neill must resolve these stylistic identity problems during the break before domestic football resumes.
