O’Neill seeking window of opportunity before Euro deadline

CELTIC manager Martin O’Neill yesterday voiced his frustration at the domestic transfer window but revealed that he still hoped to add to his squad before Sunday’s European deadline.

He claims that FIFA's restrictions are backing managers into a corner and admits that he would have major problems if his squad was to be hit by injury problems before January.

He also says that the window is damaging the careers of players, who are robbed of the chance of a new challenge elsewhere.
