Legendary Celtic boss Martin O'Neill reckons Charlie Nicholas' biting critiques of Parkhead life are misplaced.
The 70-year-old believes the former Sky Sports pundit's full-on assertions are more akin to a player who starred in five successive European Cup Finals, rather than someone who struggled for silverware in Glasgow's east end. O'Neill spoke with passion about the success he enjoyed rejuvenating the Hoops on the continent during his storied five–year stay at the club and the road to Seville which followed.
Speaking during a special edition of the Record Celtic Podcast, he said: of "Sometimes when I hear Charlie Nicholas speaking, I feel as if he's played in five successive European Cup finals for Celtic. While he was there, they never qualified [for European football after Christmas], so I'm not so sure Charlie is actually primed to speak about European football after Christmas time, I must admit."
