YOU’RE TAKING THE P***

Board can't expect O'Neill to fix ALL the issues without help

- »CHRIS SUTTON

YOU have to hand it to Martin O'Neill. He could have easily told Celtic where to go when they got back on the phone to him last week.

Instead he answered the call and has already steadied the ship again.

Falkirk on Wednesday night was not pretty but it was another victory and another clean-sheet after trouncing Dundee United.

The problems that have been there all season were plain to see at Falkirk but - in contrast to Wilfried Nancy ~ O'Neill is making sure Celtic get results by whatever means necessary.

Celtic are extremely fortunate he was willing to step up in the hour of need.

It’s taking a huge effort to get things back on track but when I hear about everything else O'Neill is doing at the moment, one thing jumps out.

To find out he's been left to scramble around for players in the January window - working round the clock, constantly watching videos and talking to agents - it almost defies belief.

Celtic are taking the p***. There’s no other way to describe it.

It also throws up a lot of questions. The Celtic board haven't been great at answering them this season, that's for sure.

Brendan Rodgers quit and no one explained it, apart from that infamous Dermot Desmond statement and a couple of cosy interviews on the club TV.

There was no one with O'Neill when he was unveiled - twice = and the same when Nancy came in. Similarly, there has still been no official reason why Paul Tisdale was sacked.
