🗣️ “I’M NOT CONCERNED”
🗣️ “MY FOCUS IS ABOUT RANGERS”

Martin O’Neill once again proved he never shies away from controversy as he completely shifted the narrative during his post-match interview yesterday — and Rangers were right at the centre of it.

Instead of dwelling on the result or analysing his team’s performance, the Celtic icon stunned reporters by redirecting his frustration toward their Glasgow rivals, making it clear where his thoughts really were.

“I’m not concerned,” O’Neill said bluntly. “My focus is about Rangers.”

🎯 A calculated switch of attention
The sudden change of topic caught many off guard. Journalists expected talk of tactics and missed chances, but O’Neill had other ideas. His tone grew sharper, his answers more pointed, as he questioned what he believes to be inconsistency and favouritism in the league.

And then came the comment that set social media on fire:

> “When we’re being robbed here they were given free penalties.”

🔥 Social media erupts
Within minutes, clips of the interview were trending across X, Instagram, and Facebook. Fans were split right down the middle — Celtic supporters backing O’Neill’s honesty, while Rangers fans accused him of deflection and sour grapes.

Pundits also weighed in, with some praising O’Neill for “saying what many are thinking,” while others insisted his comments risk pouring fuel on an already intense rivalry.

⚔️ Mind games or genuine anger?
Whether this was a moment of raw emotion or a deliberate psychological jab at Rangers remains up for debate. What’s certain is that O’Neill has successfully dragged Rangers into the spotlight, even on a day that had nothing to do with them on the pitch.

📈 Pressure mounts on the title race
With the season far from over, tensions are clearly rising. Every decision, every penalty, every whistle is now being placed under the microscope — and O’Neill’s words have ensured that scrutiny will only intensify.

One thing is undeniable:
Martin O’Neill has spoken — and Scottish football is listening.
