Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has been admitted to hospital after undergoing what the club described as a 'small procedure', with the Scottish champions confirming on Tuesday that the 74-year-old is expected to be discharged within 'the next day or two'.
The update followed online speculation about O'Neill's health, prompting Celtic to issue a brief statement asking supporters to respect his family's privacy. O'Neill was in the dugout only a day earlier as Celtic opened their Scottish Premiership title defence with a 1-0 win over Dundee at Parkhead. There had been no public indication he would require hospital treatment, leaving supporters surprised just days before Sunday's away trip to Kilmarnock.
