Nicholas vanishes as Celtic march on without him – Scottish round-up

BYLINE:By PATRICK GLENN

CHARLIE NICHOLAS faces a confrontation with the Celtic manager Billy McNeill, if the troubled striker returns to the Parkhead club this week. He walked out of the ground just before the Premier Division match against St Johnstone and has not been heard of since.

It is believed that he was unhappy about being left out of the squad four days after he had been a substitute for the Tennents Scottish Cup tie, also at Celtic Park. McNeill would make no comment on the matter yesterday, but it is believed he will call the player to account.

Nicholas disappeared after the team and substitutes were posted in the Celtic Park dressing room. Whatever the player's notion of his first-team status may be, his case is not helped by poor form only two goals since his return nor by the team's recent renaissance. The 3-0 victory over St Johnstone,with goals by Tommy Coyne, Paul Elliott and Joe Miller, was their second win in four days and their seventh match without defeat. They have renewed hopes of achieving a place in the Uefa Cup by overtaking Dundee United in third place.
