(The Guardian) Martin O’Neill took charge of Celtic training before beginning his second stint as interim manager tomorrow against Dundee United. The 73-year-old first returned on a temporary basis after Brendan Rodgers’ departure in October, and is back again after Wilfried Nancy’s 33-day reign.
Earlier this week, O’Neill said it would be a “difficult” task to win the Scottish Premiership. Celtic trail the league leaders, Hearts, by six points. -- There are fewer games to play now than before, and Rangers must have gained a psychological advantage there, and that’s over us. We still have to catch Hearts, and the way that Motherwell played the other evening against Celtic, they might well be the best footballing side in the league. Hearts have had momentum all season. They’ve been able to win some big games, so it is a difficult task for us.
The lads are in decent spirits, we had a bit of a meeting and honestly they genuinely feel as if they’re in good heart. Naturally disappointed with the recent results and the way things have gone, but I’m just hoping that they’re up for the battle ahead, and I’m sure they will be.
