Another day, another Celtic player publicly highlighting problems that the supporters have been watching unfold for weeks.
This time, it’s captain Callum McGregor.
And if Martin O’Neill hasn’t already got enough on his plate, the latest comments from his skipper should certainly give him something to think about.
We’ve heard Cameron Carter-Vickers question the randomness surrounding Celtic’s performances. Now McGregor has turned his attention towards the tactical confusion, players operating outside their natural positions and a team struggling to control football matches.
Sound familiar?
It certainly should.
McGregor Has Said What We’ve Been Saying For Weeks
Speaking about Celtic’s positional problems, McGregor acknowledged that the team hasn’t established clearly defined profiles for every position.
His observation about strikers being asked to operate as wingers was particularly revealing.
That’s precisely what I’ve been questioning.
Why are we continually accommodating players in positions that don’t suit their strengths?
Why is Camilo Durán being pushed wide to accommodate Kasper Høgh?
And why does Celtic’s attacking structure seem to change depending on which individuals the manager wants to squeeze into his starting eleven?
McGregor has effectively described the consequences of those decisions.
Players naturally revert to their instincts. Strikers behave like strikers, regardless of where they’re positioned on a team sheet.
It’s hardly rocket science.
Celtic Are Playing Basketball Instead Of Football
The captain also compared Celtic’s matches to basketball, describing how the team loses control and spends extended periods trying to recover possession.
That’s an extraordinary assessment from the man responsible for organising Celtic’s midfield.
And it’s absolutely spot on.
We’re watching a side that can produce moments of attacking brilliance but struggles to establish any meaningful authority over matches.
Wednesday’s 2-2 draw against Dundee United demonstrated that perfectly.
Celtic looked considerably more dangerous after genuine wide players entered the pitch.
Yet we’re still having the same conversations about shape, personnel and balance.
How many more matches must pass before somebody actually addresses the obvious?
O’Neill Cannot Ignore His Captain
I like Martin O’Neill. I’ve enormous affection for what he’s achieved at Celtic.
But affection doesn’t make tactical decisions immune from criticism.
McGregor’s comments represent another warning that things aren’t functioning properly.
The captain is describing problems with the system, not simply blaming players for individual mistakes.
And when experienced members of your dressing room are openly discussing those problems, the manager has to listen.
Celtic cannot keep relying on individual quality to rescue performances that lack cohesion.
The players are telling us something. The performances are telling us something.
The question now is whether Martin O’Neill is listening.
Or could CalMac find himself the latest experienced pro sat on the naughty step.
I doubt his ears work any better than his eyes, unfortunately.
