Celtic manager Martin O’Neill remains in hospital after undergoing a “small procedure”, the club has announced.
The Scottish club did not reveal details of the medical procedure but said the 74-year-old Northern Irishman is expected to be discharged within the next day or two.
In a statement released on social media on Wednesday, Celtic said: “In response to speculation, we can confirm that Martin O’Neill has undergone a small procedure in hospital.
“We would envisage Martin being released from hospital in the next day or two and on behalf of Martin, we would like to thank supporters for their kind wishes.
O’Neill signed a one-year contract in June to become Celtic’s permanent manager after two interim spells last season ended with the club winning the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup double.
The veteran coach was in the dugout on Monday as Celtic opened their Premiership campaign with a 1-0 home victory over Dundee.
