"Martin O'Neill warned Celtic could be in trouble if they do not strengthen their squad despite resuming his supervision of the team with a 4-0 victory over Dundee United. A dominant display seemingly banished concerns there might be lasting damage from Wilfried Nancy's brief but torrid tenure, when Celtic lost six out of eight games. O'Neill returned to oversee a first clean sheet since his final game in caretaker charge and equal the two biggest wins of the Premiership season,"
"We played really well, said the 73-year-old. It was nice to see players performing well, playing with confidence, and it was just nice to win. O'Neill pointed out the importance of a goal-saving block from Liam Scales on Owen Stirton and also admitted his concern that Julian Araujo might have received a red card for a late tackle on Will Ferry. If the confidence is kind of fragile, then that sort of thing can change again, then it gives the opposition a big boost, he said."
Martin O'Neill resumed supervision and led Celtic to a 4-0 victory over Dundee United, restoring a clean sheet and equalling the season's biggest Premiership wins. Two first-half goals from Yang Hyun-jun and Arne Engels established the lead, with substitutes Benjamin Nygren and Daizen Maeda adding second-half goals. O'Neill praised the players' confidence and highlighted a goal-saving block by Liam Scales and a potentially red-card tackle by Julian Araujo. Celtic have not made January signings and O'Neill warned that injuries to key players could leave the squad in serious trouble. Hibernian drew 1-1 with Motherwell after goals from Maswanhise and Kieron Bowie.
