O'Neill on game plan for LASK, potential transfers & team news

Advertisement

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has been talking to the media before Tuesday's Champions League play-off second leg against LASK.

Here are the best bits from his news conference:

  • O'Neill expects Celtic "to be put under pressure" with LASK trailing 3-0 on aggregate, but insists Celtic will not sit in and defend their lead.
  • He fancies his team to score, but would not be drawn on whether a single goal would be enough to secure progression to the Champions League proper.
  • On potential transfer business, O'Neill says he will not think about that until after the game, but hopes there will be incomings before the end of the window.
  • O'Neill believes his squad will be strengthened regardless of whether they are in the Champions League or Europa League, but admits reaching the Champions League would provide a "massive lift in every aspect".
  • He expects both teams to have chances in the game and says his team will give everything to progress.
  • Team news: Auston Trusty has travelled with the squad to Austria, but did not train on Monday because of an upset stomach. Alistair Johnston will be out until "some time in October".
