Celtic boss O'Neill in hospital after 'small procedure'
Celtic manager Martin O'Neill remains in hospital after undergoing a "small procedure", the club announce.
Celtic manager Martin O Neill is currently hospitalized following a minor surgical procedure, the club has confirmed. The 74-year-old, who signed a one-year contract in June to become the permanent manager after two interim spells, is expected to be discharged within the next day or two. O Neill returned to Celtic in October, replacing Brendan Rodgers, and led the team to victory in the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup last season.
He was present at Celtic's opening match of the new season on Monday, as they secured a 1-0 home win over Dundee. In response to rumors, Celtic has addressed the issue on social media, stating that O Neill underwent a small procedure and is anticipated to be released from the hospital soon. They request that the privacy of O Neill and his family be respected during this time.
