Celtic Backs Martin O'Neill After 'Painful' Week for the Club
Celtic chief executive Michael Nicholson says the club will 'come together and support' manager Martin O'Neill following a difficult week.
Celtic will "come together and support" manager Martin O'Neill following what the club has described as a "painful" week, chief executive Michael Nicholson has said.
Nicholson's comments come amid a challenging period for the Scottish club, though the specific results or incidents behind the difficult week were not detailed in the statement.
The chief executive's remarks are aimed at signalling unity within the club as it looks to move past recent setbacks, with the message directed at supporters and stakeholders following a period described internally as painful.
O'Neill has faced scrutiny during his time in charge, and public backing from senior club figures such as Nicholson is often seen as an attempt to steady the situation and reinforce confidence in the manager's position.
Celtic will be looking to respond on the pitch in upcoming fixtures as it seeks to put the recent difficulties behind it and refocus on its season objectives.
Further details on the club's plans following the announcement were not immediately available.
