Celtic Striker Sent Home

Celtic have been hit by an unexpected training-ground drama after one of their strikers was reportedly sent home following a misunderstanding with manager Martin O’Neill ahead of the crucial Champions League tie against LASK.

 

The incident is understood to have happened during a training session as O’Neill prepared his squad for the important European fixture.

 

According to the storyline surrounding the incident, the disagreement was not believed to be a serious falling-out, but a misunderstanding between the manager and the player quickly escalated, resulting in the striker being asked to leave the training ground.

 

The timing has raised eyebrows, with Celtic preparing for a match in which every available player could be important.

 

O’Neill is understood to have wanted complete concentration from his squad ahead of the LASK encounter, while the player reportedly felt that his actions had been misunderstood.

 

The situation has now created uncertainty over whether the striker will be involved in the Champions League tie or whether he will remain away from first-team preparations until the matter is resolved.

 

Celtic supporters will be hoping the disagreement can be settled quickly, particularly with such an important European fixture approaching.

 

For now, the focus remains on whether the striker will return to training and be available for selection.

 

One training-ground misunderstanding could now have major consequences for Celtic’s Champions League plans.
