O’Neill not bowled over by unfit Amoroso

CELTIC manager Martin O’Neill admitted he was far from bowled over after watching striker Marcio Amoroso in action for the first time yesterday – but refused to rule out a move for the Brazilian.

Amoroso has spent the week training at Parkhead in the hope of earning a move to the Scottish champions as they search for a worthy replacement for Henrik Larsson.

Other commitments meant O'Neill had not had the opportunity to watch his potential transfer target in action until yesterday morning when he arranged a practice match with other first team players.
