O’Neill could face lengthy touchline exile

MARTIN O’NEILL is certain to be on the touchline for the return leg against Celta Vigo - and he will wait for the referee’s report before deciding what action to take.

The Celtic manager was sent to the stand by farcical French referee Claude Colombo in the late stage of Thursday night’s 1-0 UEFA Cup third round victory at Parkhead.

The typically-animated Northern Irishman is now looking at a lengthy touchline exile, following his sending off in Turin last season which earned him a one-match ban.
