Martin O’Neill shoots down Celtic squad revolt claim – but reveals what actually worries him
Key Things to Know
  • Martin O'Neill has firmly rejected suggestions of unrest or a dressing room revolt among his Celtic squad.
  • Celtic sit four points clear of Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership despite winning three of nine games.
  • Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota are unlikely to feature against Falkirk due to the stadium's artificial surface.
The Story in 60 Seconds

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has dismissed claims of dressing room unrest or squad dissent following recent public criticisms and a draw with Dundee United. Despite facing criticism from supporters after recording only three wins in nine matches, O'Neill maintained that the squad remains united and highlighted that Celtic still sit four points clear of Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

Looking ahead to their fixture against Falkirk, O'Neill indicated he may rotate the squad. Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota are unlikely to be risked on the artificial pitch, while Auston Trusty has travelled to the United States for personal reasons and new signing Jason van den Berg remains weeks away from match fitness.
