Touchline ban
The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body handed O'Neill a two-match touchline ban subject to an appeal which must be lodged by midnight on Sunday 8 December.
Vigo threat
O'Neill was sent to the stands after 78 minutes of the Celtic Park encounter last week, which the Scottish champions won with a Henrik Larsson goal. If any Celtic appeal were to be unsuccessful, the suspension would come into effect for the second-leg tie at the Balaídos stadium next Thursday.
