Celtic manager Martin O'Neill admitted he did not learn much about his squad after a laborious Scottish Cup victory over sixth-tier Auchinleck Talbot. Only captain Callum McGregor kept his place from the team that edged out Falkirk on Wednesday, as O'Neill handed opportunities to some of the fringe members of his squad. Fans chanted "sign a player" at Rugby Park as they were left unimpressed by the fare on the pitch. "Tonight, it would have been nice to put on a great performance," O'Neill said. I'm not so sure I learned much more than I knew before."
