How many changes has Martin O’Neill made at HT this season? As Tounekti is a guilty party

Amir Mir of 67 Hail Hail highlights an emerging issue under Martin O'Neill at Celtic, noting that the manager has made half-time substitutions in five of 14 matches this season. In Celtic's 4-1 Europa League defeat to Benfica, both Sebastian Tounekti and Kasper Hogh were removed at the break, marking the second time Tounekti has been replaced at half-time during this run.

Mir argues that four of these substitutions were tactical rather than injury-enforced, with only Alistair Johnston leaving early due to an injury against Kilmarnock. The writer contends that these recurring changes demonstrate mixed tactical messaging and flawed summer recruitment, pointing out that recent signings like Mika Baur and Oliver Sørensen struggle to fit O'Neill's preferred system.
