Celtic interim manager Martin O’Neill told BBC Scotland: “Delighted to have won, great to score an early goal – it settled things after Thursday night. There were some parts of the performance I was absolutely delighted with.
“I was very concerned about the game before, but that’s typical me – I’m always concerned about matches beforehand. There were very good bits, we defended strongly.
“I’m pleased to win, pleased for Kieran [Tierney] to score a goal. There were moments there were you thought ‘that’s the old player he was at one stage’. Injuries have hit him badly, but he’s fighting back.
“I keep saying to Johnny [Kenny], centre forward is the hardest outfield place to play. He is improving. Sometimes it’s very difficult for a centre forward to play up there on your own when you’ve got two wide men. He’s really doing fine.
“I’m delighted we’ve won, and you do need help when you’re chasing someone, but there’s a long way to go.
“I’ll take a little time in the international break, most of our players will be away, and there will be time of inner reflection. It’s been a whirlwind of a fortnight, I can’t believe it’s really happened.
“It’s been the most surreal fortnight. Without doubt [I need to lie down in a darkened room].
“I genuinely don’t know [if I’ll be back in two weeks]. If the board make up their mind, it’s absolutely fine by me.”
