Viljami Sinisalo starred in Celtic’s 1-0 Europa League win in Stuttgart on Thursday after replacing the experienced Kasper Schmeichel, who let in two soft goals during a 4-1 first-leg defeat by the German club, News.Az reports, citing Lowkickmma.

O’Neill was told of Rohl’s comments during a pre-match press conference on Friday, soon after he returned to Glasgow.

“So he’s picking our team?,” said O’Neill, 73. “Well done, old Danny, well done. He’s only in less than a year himself.

“He’ll soon know all about it in the next four or five years,” added the Northern Irishman, in his second spell as interim Celtic coach this season after being in charge of the Hoops from 2000-2005.

“Maybe he might have a choice of some players and maybe I could put my oar in there and find out what he’s doing.

“Listen, sorry, I have to laugh. He’s had a comment about our team, as in the picking of the team? Extraordinary. Absolutely extraordinary. He hasn’t been in Glasgow long.”

The German who joined Rangers in October 2025 also expressed “surprise” that in his view Celtic did not try to beat Stuttgart 3-0, claiming they were happy to stick to 1-0.

“He wants to be involved in some of these games,” O’Neill replied. “I never saw it like that.

“I mean, we were driven back, because they are actually a very, very good team. They’re in the top four in the Bundesliga…there’s no need for him to be commenting on my team or our side.”

“I think he possesses a very, very decent team over there, and it’s going to be tough for us to try and get a result,” he added of the trip to Ibrox. “But regardless, we’re still fighting.”

Reigning champions Celtic are currently third in the table, two points adrift of arch Glasgow rivals Rangers with a game in hand.

But come Sunday’s kick-off they could be nine points behind leaders Hearts, but with two games in hand over the Edinburgh club.

“We’re running out of games,” said O’Neill. “We’ve been trying to catch up for quite some considerable time. We’re still trying to do that at the moment. Losing to Hibs was a setback, but it wasn’t mortal. We’re still there.”

Two coalitions of workers – including employees of Amazon.com Inc., Google, Microsoft Corp. and OpenAI – are asking their companies to join Anthropic in refusing to comply with Defense Department demands for unrestricted use of AI products, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.

“We are writing to urge our own companies to also refuse to comply should they or the frontier labs they invest in enter into further contracts with the Pentagon,” a coalition of labor unions and other groups representing workers at Alphabet Inc., Amazon and Microsoft said in a letter posted early Friday.

The letters, and similar support for Anthropic from tech executives on social media, show how a tussle between one AI company and the Pentagon could mushroom into an industry-wide battle over how best to deploy the powerful technology safely.

Anthropic and the US military have been in talks over what exactly the armed forces can do with its tools. The richly valued startup, which has pitched itself as a cautious and responsible AI developer, insists that its products, including the Claude chatbot, not be used for surveillance of US citizens or to carry out lethal strikes without human involvement.

Defense officials have demanded the right to use Claude without restriction, threatening to invoke the Defense Production Act to compel Anthropic to make its products available and label the company a supply-chain risk, a move that would preclude Anthropic from doing deals with military suppliers.

Anthropic Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei said in a statement Thursday that the company could not comply with the Defense Department request, though it continues to negotiate with the Pentagon. In response, a senior defense official took to social media to accuse Anthropic of putting US safety at risk.

In the open letter posted Friday, workers with groups including Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, the Alphabet Workers Union, No Tech for Apartheid and No Azure for Apartheid sought to connect Anthropic’s stand to employee efforts to get their companies to disclose more about the services they sell to state agencies taking part in President Donald Trump’s deportation push.

“Executive leadership at Google, Microsoft and Amazon must reject the Pentagon’s advances and provide workers with transparency about contracts with other repressive state agencies including DHS, CBP and ICE,” they said, referring to the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Another letter, published earlier this week and signed by Google and OpenAI employees, urged executives to put aside their differences “and stand together to continue to refuse the Department of War’s current demands for permission to use our models for domestic mass surveillance and autonomously killing people without human oversight.”

Memory prices, including DRAM and NAND flash, have risen dramatically and are expected to continue increasing, potentially by 130% by the end of 2026. This surge in memory costs will likely eliminate the availability of entry-level PCs, valued under $500. Vendors won’t be able to build affordable PCs that buyers would want to purchase.

Germany’s decision to develop its next-generation fighter aircraft with France rather than the United Kingdom has been described as a strategic error by former Airbus chief executive Tom Enders.
