O’Neill’s assistant Maloney gave an upbeat prognosis ahead of Sunday’s Premiership clash with Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, although it is not yet certain if the Hoops boss will be in the dugout.
Maloney said: “I went to see him last night. He got out of hospital yesterday. He was in good form last night, loads better than he was Monday, Tuesday. Hopefully those sort of positive feelings continue.
“No timeline. So even for the game at the weekend, it’s sort of day-to-day.
“We saw him last night, with regards to the preparation for the game, and so he wasn’t in today.
“I’ll speak to him this afternoon and then he’ll make a call for tomorrow and then I’d imagine he’ll make the call for the game at the weekend.
“If it’s this weekend, great, if it isn’t, we’ll prepare for it without him.”
