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'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.
