O’Neill under no pressure for Euro jackpot

CELTIC manager Martin O’Neill yesterday denied the financial consequences of missing out on a place in the money-spinning Champions League group stages were weighing heavy on his mind.

Parkhead chiefs must have been rubbing their hands following their 3-1 victory over FC Basle a fortnight ago which has given them a glorious chance of joining Europe’s elite for the second time.

But the Celtic boss claimed he was under no extra pressure, pointing to the fact that they have not had the revenue coming in from the Champions League for years before his arrival.
