Celtic 'up for the fight' in title decider

Manager Martin O'Neill insists Celtic are "up for the fight" in Saturday's title decider against Hearts. It's been a turbulent campaign for the Glasgow club who, after defeat at Dundee United at the end of March, sat five points behind the leaders and looked all but out of the title race. Since then they have won all six Premiership games to cut the gap on Hearts to just one point going into the final day.

And O'Neill insists his players, in front of a raucous Parkhead, will give everything to earn the win they need. "I just think they're ready for the game," he said. "I think they've had things their own way in recent times, now they've had to fight, and so far they've shown that they're up for it, they're ready to go.

"We have faults in our team, naturally. But I could not question their commitment or their willingness to get back again. "Probably the only time was at Tannadice, when I thought that they just didn't perform.

A lot of it was down to me as well. But the team has come fighting back, roaring back. So they deserve this opportunity to get to the last match.
