Tounekti Might be Finished at Celtic After Brutal Martin O’Neill Decision

GiveMeSport's James Beavis argues that winger Sebastian Tounekti may face the end of his Celtic career after manager Martin O'Neill dropped him from the squad entirely for Sunday's 7-1 Scottish Premiership victory over Hearts. Despite starting in Celtic's Europa League 4-1 loss to Benfica on Thursday, the 24-year-old Tunisia international was axed from the matchday team amid mounting competition in attack.

Beavis highlights that Tounekti has registered only one goal and one assist in 14 appearances this season, totaling six goals and four assists in 59 matches since his reported £5m arrival in 2025. With Camilo Duran, Callum Osmand, Haissem Hassan, and the returning Jota impressing, the writer suggests Tounekti faces an uphill battle to regain his place at Parkhead.
