Celtic manager Martin O'Neill remains steadfast in his conviction that the club can secure qualification in the Europa League, despite suffering another setback on the European stage. The Celtic boss insists that progression in this season's tournament remains well within reach, refusing to abandon optimism even after a third straight defeat was inflicted upon his side.
The latest blow came courtesy of Celta Vigo, who condemned Celtic to their third consecutive loss in the current tournament. Sustaining three defeats in succession represents a difficult run for Celtic, and the setback against Celta Vigo has added significant pressure to their campaign as they attempt to keep their hopes alive.
Nevertheless, O'Neill has underscored that there are still 'a lot of points to play for' as the tournament unfolds. The manager's resolute stance emphasizes that Celtic's fate is far from decided, highlighting that the available points remaining in the Europa League provide a viable opportunity to recover from the difficult run of form.
Looking ahead, Celtic face the vital task of transforming O'Neill's belief into results if they are to achieve progression. Having endured three straight defeats, capped by the reverse against Celta Vigo, the manager's focus will center on halting that losing sequence and maximizing the points that remain in this season's Europa League.
