O'Neill agrees with McGregor about Celtic issues

Manager Martin O'Neill says he is in "full agreement" with captain Callum McGregor's assessment of Celtic's issues, but insisted they will "sort it out". Captain Callum McGregor said Celtic's games are a "bit basketball" McGregor was asked about the team's struggles after Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Dundee United, describing some moments in games as being "a bit basketball" as Celtic lacked their usual control. The 33-year-old also noted playing strikers like Callum Osmand and Camilo Duran as wingers may be contributing to those issues amid a run of three wins in nine games. When O'Neill was asked about those comments before Sunday's match with Falkirk, he said he had "no idea" what McGregor said, but when the context was put to the Celtic manager he said he agreed with his captain's diagnosis.

"I totally agree that Callum Osmand is actually really a centre forward, I've said this at the press conference, that he is essentially a centre forward," O'Neill said. "He probably would play off somebody strong alongside him, I'm not so sure that he could lead the line on his own. "And that Camilo Duran is really a centre forward, so the players are getting to know each other, it's as really simple as that there, so I'm in total agreement with Callum." Celtic still hold a four-point lead
