Celtic are 'little bit broken' - but is change of shape 'worth risking'?

After last Sunday's drubbing at Ibrox, Celtic needed a reaction against Ferencvaros in the Europa League. The concessions were alarmingly easy from a Celtic perspective and after a lively start, they retreated into their shells. Empty seats and boos met the final whistle and things don't get any easier for Martin O'Neill's side.

Celtic are 'little bit broken' - but is change of shape 'worth risking'?

Celtic's Europa League match against Ferencvaros on Sunday proved to be a somber reminder of their struggles in recent games. After a shaky start, the Scottish champions retreated into a shell, leaving fans and supporters disheartened. Captain Callum McGregor acknowledged that the team needed to fight through this period with hard work and a collective effort.

The ultimate test will be their upcoming match against Rangers in the Scottish Premiership. O Neill's team must maintain unity and stay focused, especially in crucial moments. The manager's recent changes to the formation, including a move to a 4-4-2 system, have been questioned by former players and critics alike. Despite these shifts, O Neill remains confident in his team's resilience and ability to adapt.
