Celtic confirm O'Neill in hospital for 'small procedure'

The 74-year-old is expected to leave hospital within days, and Celtic have not confirmed whether he will be in the dugout against Kilmarnock.

  • Celtic confirmed manager Martin O'Neill is recovering in hospital after undergoing "a small procedure," with the club requesting privacy for him and his family.
  • O'Neill returned to Celtic after twice stepping in last season, initially replacing Brendan Rodgers and later taking charge following Wilfried Nancy's tenure.
  • The manager guided the team to a domestic double, winning the Scottish Premiership title before defeating Neil Lennon's Dunfermline at Hampden in the Scottish Cup Final.
  • Although expected to be discharged later this week, Celtic has not yet confirmed if the 74-year-old will be in the dugout for Sunday's Scottish Premiership showdown at Kilmarnock.
  • Following his recent domestic success, O'Neill is currently under contract with the Hoops on a 12-month deal to lead the club.
