Martin O’Neill targets Rangers fatigue with calculated rotation
via Read Rangers |
Celtic manager Martin O’Neill opted for significant rotation to secure a 1-0 Scottish Premiership victory over St Johnstone, ahead of Sunday’s cup quarter-final against Rangers.
O’Neill left Camilo Duran, Benjamin Nygren and Kieran Tierney on the bench at McDiarmid Park, while Cameron Carter-Vickers was omitted entirely due to stiffness.
The tactical reshuffle afforded debutant goalkeeper Sam Johnstone an opportunity to produce a crucial first-half save against Joel Cotterill.
