'This is on Martin' - Sutton blames O'Neill for Celtic struggles

Summarised by MatchPal
Celtic lost 2-0 at Falkirk, their second league defeat this season, leaving them three wins from their last 10 games across all competitions.
Celtic suffered a shock 2-0 defeat at Falkirk, with Ethan Ross scoring early and Scott Tanser adding a second. The loss was Falkirk's first win against Celtic since 2007 and leaves the Hoops with just three wins from their past 10 outings in all competitions.
Sky Sports pundit Chris Sutton was critical of manager Martin O'Neill, describing the team as "in regression" and questioning his tactical setup. "It's a lottery waiting for the Celtic team," Sutton said. "There's not an area of the team or the club that is functioning as it should this season." He added that the issues stem from O'Neill's management rather than the coaching staff.
Celtic remain top of the Scottish Premiership but failed to extend their lead. O'Neill insisted there is no reason to panic, pointing to last season's comeback from behind to win the league. However, fellow pundit Kris Boyd suggested the run has cast doubt over O'Neill's future, saying serious questions must be asked about the manager's position.
