O'Neill made light of Celtic's dire lack of players – I'd say it's a scandal

- 

THE Oxford English Dictionary's definition of the word "scandal" is "a situation which you find shocking and unacceptable".

In other words, how Celtic's support might view their club's transfer business over the last year.

And whoever is responsible for running the club leaving Martin O'Neill to see if he can win a league and Cup double with strikers who can't score, a succession of other players who can't be trusted enough to be brought on as subs, or the truly hopeless cases who can't even make it on to the bench in the first place.

Supporters who allow themselves to use the evidence of their own eyes appreciate the manager has been treated in a scandalous fashion after having been brought in to clear up the mess created by the unfathomable decision to employ a man, Wilfried Nancy, whose credentials in no way made him fit for purpose at Celtic Park.

O'Neill, and I speak as someone who is two years older than Martin, looks to be visibly ageing in the job.

Is it any wonder?
