Celtic prepares for Kilmarnock as O’Neill misses training, Jota returns

Martin O’Neill did not participate in Celtic’s training sessions ahead of their Premiership match against Kilmarnock scheduled for Sunday. O’Neill, who recently underwent a small medical procedure and remains in recovery, has delegated first-team preparations to Shaun Maloney. Jota is advancing towards his comeback from a serious knee injury, having joined the first team after a year on the sidelines due to a cruciate ligament tear suffered in April 2025. The timeline for O’Neill's potential return to the touchline remains uncertain.
