Martin O’Neill Makes A Big Claim Regarding Rangers Against Hearts: Can Celtic Actually Win The Title? Celtic are moving into one of the most telling fortnights in years, and Martin O’Neill isn’t hiding where he’ll be looking this Monday night. Speaking before Celtic ’s game at Easter Road against Hibs, O’Neill told reporters he’ll be watching Hearts host Rangers at Tynecastle on Monday with a very close eye.
Celtic’s title fate rests on results they cannot control He didn’t mince words, saying he has no time for managers who act like these games don’t matter. With his usual bluntness, he admitted he’s not sure which result he actually wants, since Celtic ‘s own performance comes first and changes the whole outlook. He joked that he wouldn’t go as far as cheering for a Rangers goal, but he certainly didn’t deny he’d be glued to the TV.
O’Neill’s point was simple, and that Celtic need to focus on winning their own matches, and the rest will take care of itself. Right now, Hearts are top of the Premiership by three points over second-placed Celtic, with Rangers just one point further back in third, meaning all three teams are still in the hunt with four games left. Meanwhile, Celtic secured a spot in the Scottish Cup final after thumping St Mirren 6-2, keeping the dream of a domestic double alive, which is something that seemed almost impossible only a few months ago.
He said: ( TCW) , “Yeah, yeah. I know that some managers say, oh well, don’t bother, they’ll go for a walk or do something. No, I’m glued to it.
“Don’t you worry, I’ll be there. If you’re asking who I’m cheering on, I have no idea. Don’t even ask, I have no idea.
