Chris Sutton says Celtic 'in regression' under Martin O'Neill

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has blamed manager Martin O'Neill for the club's recent poor form, saying that "the club is in regression". The comments came on Saturday evening after Celtic lost their second league match of the season.

Celtic have lost six of their last ten matches. Sutton and fellow pundit Ian McCall discussed the club's slump, with Sutton placing the responsibility on O'Neill. O'Neill has said he remains defiant about his position and the team's direction.

The defeat leaves Celtic under growing pressure after a difficult start to the season. The scoreline and details of the match that prompted the criticism are not yet known.

Sutton is a former Celtic player, so his comments carry weight with the club's supporters.

O'Neill has managed Celtic before and returned to the club, and the current criticism focuses on whether that return has delivered the results expected. It is not yet known how the club's board has responded or whether it has plans to change the coaching setup.

A run of six defeats in ten games is a sharp dip for a club that expects to challenge for trophies.

It is not yet known when Celtic play next or whether the club has made any changes to the squad or staff. It is also not yet known whether the board supports O'Neill.
