Celtic and their veteran manager have been here before.<\/p>\n
O’Neill, who has won three league titles with the club, has guided the defending champions from the wreckage of Wilfried Nancy’s brief tenure to a position that looked unlikely as recently as the start of April.<\/p>\n
Defeat at Tannadice before the international break left them five points behind with seven matches to play, but five straight wins since have narrowed the gap to one.<\/p>\n
“They’ve known for some weeks, particularly after the game at Dundee United, that there’s no room for mistakes,” O’Neill said of his players. <\/p>\n
“That’s hard to keep going every single game because there’ll be a match where you might actually dominate, you might not score in that period, and the other team might break away and find themselves 1-0 up.”<\/p>\n
Much like McInnes, the former Leicester City, Aston Villa and Republic of Ireland manager is not looking beyond Wednesday.<\/p>\n
“We can only look at ourselves and try and win the game,” O’Neill said. “Then the weekend will take care of itself. <\/p>\n
“We’ve come a long distance here. We would like it to go to the last game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Celtic and their veteran manager have been here before.
