O’Neill, 74, undergoes ‘small procedure’
Celtic manager Martin O'Neill is recovering in hospital after undergoing surgery.
The Parkhead club confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that the 74-year-old had undergone a "small procedure" and will remain in hospital for the next few days.
O’Neill signed a one-year deal in June to become permanent Celtic boss after two interim spells last season ended in success with a Premiership and Scottish Cup double.
He was in the dugout for the 1-0 win over Dundee in the season opener on Monday night but it remains unclear whether he will return to duty for the next league match against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Sunday.

A Celtic statement read: "In response to speculation, we can confirm that Martin O’Neill has undergone a small procedure in hospital.
"We would envisage Martin being released from hospital in the next day or two and on behalf of Martin, we would like to thank supporters for their kind wishes.
"We would ask that the privacy of Martin and his family is respected."
