The debate follows Viljami Sinisalo’s strong display in Celtic’s 1-0 Europa League win away to Stuttgart, where he replaced Kasper Schmeichel after the Dane conceded two soft goals in the 4-1 first-leg defeat.
O’Neill was informed of Rohl’s comments during his pre-match press conference shortly after returning to Glasgow. “So he’s picking our team? Well done, old Danny, well done,” O’Neill said with a laugh. “He’s only been here less than a year. He’ll soon learn what it’s like over the next four or five years.
“Maybe I should sit down and see if he wants to offer me a choice of some of his players, and I could put my oar in about what he’s doing.
“Honestly, I have to laugh. He’s commenting on our team selection? Extraordinary. Absolutely extraordinary. He hasn’t been in Glasgow long.”
On Celtic’s title credentials, O’Neill continued, “We’re running out of games. We’ve been trying to catch up for quite some considerable time. We’re still trying to do that at the moment.
“Losing to Hibs was a setback, but it wasn’t mortal. We’re still there. I think we’ve taken 31 from 36 points (in two spells under O’Neill).”
O’Neill’s only meeting with Rangers this season ended in a 3-1 victory for his side, which occurred at Hampden in the Premier Sports Cup.
