Martin O’Neill, defiant despite Celtic’s defeat: “We’re far from finished”

For Martin O’Neill, the pressure for the upcoming matches that Celtic will experience will be extremely competitive and without rest. In his reaction, he showed that he must have a team in rhythm if he wants to obtain the Scottish Premiership.

The great surprise from Hibernian by 1-2 left them with great problems for the future, but they know they cannot lower their heads. Although the next match is against Stuttgart in a tie practically settled, they will travel to Germany to compete in the Europa League.

After the defeat against Hibernian, Martin O’Neill left encouraging statements regarding the result, where the Daily Record newspaper revealed his comments and how he sees with good eyes that they remain candidates to win the Scottish Premiership.

Being 6 points behind Hearts and with 1 match less, they do not give up and remain focused on their objective. In addition, Rangers drew 2-2 in their match this matchday, which gives more opportunities, so that after this 1-2 defeat against Hibernian, they do not hang their heads.

O’Neill made clear that he sees himself in the competition for the championship and that he will give everything to obtain the title at the national level despite the challenge it will pose in this stretch of the season.

“It is a setback. But that is how things are. We are far from finished. It is a difficult match. We are six points behind Hearts. I think I have said every week that, at national level, it is a difficult challenge for us, but we are still there fighting. I definitely cannot fault the players in terms of effort, drive and determination. We just would have liked to win the match. It could not be, but it is not over yet.”
