Martin O'Neill has confirmed he totally agrees with Celtic captain Callum McGregor's critical assessment regarding the team's tactical balance and performance. Following a 2-2 midweek draw against Dundee United, McGregor claimed that Celtic are wasting unnecessary energy in end-to-end games, lacking clear positional profiles, and failing to control matches effectively.
