'Celtic deficiencies laid bare on another night of Champions League pain'

Celtic's Champions League night ended in a 4-0 defeat against LASK, revealing deep-rooted deficiencies in the team. Callum McGregor, the captain, expressed his frustration by labeling his teammates as "passive" and "scared," a sentiment that echoed throughout the night. This was not the first time Celtic had experienced such a humiliating loss; in recent years, they had endured multiple poor performances against European opposition.

McGregor, a veteran player with numerous trophies to his name, was particularly incensed by the collapse, noting that his fellow players panicked and allowed themselves to be overwhelmed. The loss came after a 4-0 lead, which the team had built to a comfortable 4-1 aggregate score. Despite McGregor's efforts to rally his team, his substitutions had little effect, and Celtic's second-half performance was dire, with only one shot on target in the entire period.

The defeat signaled a clear need for improvement, as Celtic's ambition and professionalism were called into question.
