Celtic: Martin O'Neill backed by chief executive Michael Nicholson despite "painful" week

Celtic chief executive Michael Nicholson has backed manager Martin O’Neill despite a "painful" week. The Parkhead club lost twice to Rangers - in the League Cup quarter-finals and Scottish Premiership - plus at home to Ferencvaros in their Europa League opener. It follows last month's collapse against LASK in their Champions League play-off, losing the tie on aggregate despite leading 4-0 at one stage.
