Martin O'Neill: There's a great spirit in the dressing-room

Celtic chalked up another away win – the third in a week following victories over St Mirren and Feyenoord – with a 2-1 win against Hibernian at Easter Road.

Goals from Daizen Maeda and Arne Engels delivered three points for the Hoops and reduce the deficit at the top of the table to just two points, with Celtic also having a game in hand.

Martin O’Neill, who is set to continue in the dugout this week when Celtic play host to Dundee on Wednesday night, was pleased with the win at what has always been a tough venue for the Hoops.

Speaking to Celtic TV after the game, he said: “You’re never comfortable in the game but we were doing really fine, and we had a great chance to maybe make it 3-0 just before half-time, and if that had gone in, then there’s a lot of relief.

“But we knew that Hibs were going to fight back. They got the penalty early on in the second-half and it was backs to the wall, but we’ve shown great resilience, especially after Thursday night, so I’ve got the utmost regard for the team.

“There’s a really good spirit within the dressing room. Of course, that comes from winning football matches but there’s a great togetherness as well.”
