After a 3‑0 win over Falkirk, his side kept pressure on the top two, while Rangers slipped to third after a defeat by Motherwell. O'Neill welcomed the result but kept focus on the next fixture today.

The visit to Easter Road will see Celtic face a league leader that has already beaten Hearts in an earlier encounter. O'Neill admitted he could not predict whom he would cheer for, saying he would just watch the game. He also noted the return of right‑back Alistair Johnston after a hamstring injury this season ahead matches.

O'Neill praised the team's performance against Falkirk, noting the victory as a boost for morale. He said, “It’s only an advantage if you win,” and added that the squad had managed to stay competitive while the rest of the league slumped. The result keeps Celtic on the hunt for the title this season again pressure.

With the Scottish Premiership heading into its final stretch, every point matters. O'Neill’s calm approach reflects a focus on performance rather than fan sentiment. The outcome of the Celtic match will decide whether Hibernian can maintain the momentum built over the past weeks for the season end ahead count now there is alive again pressure.
