Martin O'Neill prepares Celtic for League Cup quarter-final at Ibrox

Summary

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill is preparing his squad for Sunday’s League Cup quarter-final against Rangers at Ibrox.

Celtic head into the encounter following a 1-0 victory over St Johnstone on September 9, secured by a second-half goal from Mika Baur. While the team remains unbeaten in league play this season, O'Neill faces a selection decision regarding his starting goalkeeper.
