O'Neill, 74, stays on at Celtic after three defeats; Yang a doubt

📰 Martin O'Neill will stay on as Celtic manager after considering his future following three defeats in a week. 📌 Key points 🍀 O'Neill, 74, will continue in charge at Celtic. 😣 Celtic lost three games in a row in the week before the break. 🔥 O'Neill says he is back, raring to go and wants the title. 🇰🇷 Yang Hyun-jun will be assessed on Friday with a hamstring issue. 🏟️ Celtic resume the league away at Motherwell on 11 October. 📝 What happened 😣 Before the international break Celtic lost twice to Rangers, with a Europa League defeat by Ferencvaros in between. O'Neill said at the time that he would reflect on his position and speak to the board. 🎙️ Speaking to the club's Celtic Player channel on 6 October, O'Neill confirmed he is staying and said it did not take him long to decide. He described it as a difficult week but not the end of the world, adding that he wants to lead the club, try to win the league and is just as determined as ever. 🔍 O'Neill also said a manager has to look at himself first and analyse what may have dropped away. 🇰🇷 Yang hurt his hamstring at the Asian Games and played only once, setting up a goal in South Korea's 4-1 win over Qatar. He was an unused substitute in the 1-0 final win over Japan. O'Neill said the club would see how everybody is on Friday and take it from there. 📊 By the numbers • O'Neill's age: 74 • Form before the break: three straight defeats (two v Rangers, one v Ferencvaros) • League position: top, two points ahead of Rangers • Yang at the Asian Games: one appearance, one assist 🔭 Why it matters With the question over the manager settled, Celtic have a chance to steady themselves. But if Rangers beat Kilmarnock on 10 October, Celtic will go into their game a day later sitting second. Celtic play Motherwell at 12pm on 11 October, with Yang's involvement decided after Friday's assessment.
