O'Neill vows Celtic will 'sort out' striking options

O'Neill backs McGregor's criticism of Celtic's striking setup, saying the club will resolve positional issues as players get to know each other.

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has agreed with captain Callum McGregor's assessment that the club needs to clarify its striking options. McGregor questioned the lack of defined profiles in the three centre-forward positions used against Dundee United, noting that players behaving like wingers rather than strikers can disrupt team function.

O'Neill acknowledged the issue, confirming that Callum Osmand is a true centre-forward best suited to playing alongside another striker rather than leading the line alone, and that Camilo Duran is also a centre-forward. He said the players are still getting to know each other and that the situation will be sorted over the coming weeks.

Celtic drew 2-2 with Dundee United to remain four points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership. They face Falkirk on Sunday with the chance to extend their lead to seven points while Rangers and Hearts play Scottish League Cup semi-finals.
