Martin O’Neill responds to BBC man’s ’tired looking’ claim

Celtic manager Martin O’Neill fired back at BBC pundit Tom English after the latter described him as 'tired' following the Europa League defeat to Ferencvaros. English made the remark live on Radio Scotland during the match coverage. O’Neill, speaking at a pre-Glasgow Derby media briefing, dismissed English's comment, stating he had never met the BBC host.

The Celtic manager acknowledged the impact of a recent illness on his energy levels but emphasized that his enthusiasm remains intact. O’Neill also reflected on the loss, noting that the victories against rivals last season feel more distant now. He acknowledged the criticism he faces but emphasized that only he can determine if he has the same energy as before.

O’Neill admitted that Celtic may soon seek a successor, but he remains committed to the challenge ahead, including the upcoming match against Rangers.
