Celtic manager Martin O’Neill will not be in the dugout for their William Hill Premiership clash with Kilmarnock on Sunday, according to reports.

The Glasgow club announced earlier this week that the 74-year-old had undergone a “small procedure” and assistant manager Shaun Maloney said on Friday he was not sure if O’Neill would be present at Rugby Park.

O’Neill was released from hospital one day after his procedure and Maloney – who will take charge of the Kilmarnock game – updated supporters saying he was in “good form”.

Celtic will be looking to make it two straight wins to kick-start their season following their victory over Dundee last week.
