Martin O’Neill Recovers After Hospital Stay, Misses Celtic Match

Martin O'Neill, the head coach of Celtic, underwent a small procedure in hospital on Wednesday and was discharged the following day. As a result of this medical attention, he missed the team's recent game against Kilmarnock.

In O'Neill's absence, Celtic secured a dominant 5-1 victory at Rugby Park, led by a first-half hat-trick from Kasper Høgh. Shaun Maloney took charge of the team in O'Neill's stead during this match.

Celtic's win included a robust performance that showcased their attacking prowess, contrastingly taking advantage of Hibernian's earlier surprise victory over Rangers.

Hibernian stunned Rangers with a 2-1 win at Ibrox, marking a difficult home debut for Rangers manager Derek McInnes. The defeat was worsened by the injury of striker Youssef Chermiti, who was carried off on a stretcher during the match.

David Gray's Hibernian opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a penalty from Josh Campbell, following a VAR review that determined a foul by Vanja Dragojevic, who was making his first start for Rangers after recent signing.

Celtic's convincing performance and Hibernian's surprising outcome contributed to an eventful day in the Scottish Premiership, while O'Neill continues his recovery from the recent hospital visit.
