Overview
- Rangers manager Danny Rohl questioned why Celtic did not push for more goals in their 1-0 win at Stuttgart, referencing Luke McCowan’s claim that no Scottish team can touch Celtic at their best.
- Martin O’Neill said he was surprised by Rohl’s take, stressing Celtic were driven back by a top-four Bundesliga side and telling his counterpart to try being involved in such European ties.
- O’Neill mocked Rohl’s pre-match talk about Celtic’s goalkeeping choice, calling commentary on his lineup “extraordinary” and saying there is no need for him to discuss Celtic’s team.
- The Celtic boss backed McCowan’s confidence as a fair opinion, adding the team remains a fine side when at their best despite exiting Europe 4-2 on aggregate.
- Celtic visit Ibrox on Sunday with Auston Trusty suspended, as O’Neill returns to the ground for the first time in over 20 years and his side trails league leaders Hearts by six points.
