Flat-track bullies Celtic continue descent into European irrelevance
BBC Scotland's Tom English reviews another frustrating night in Europe for the Scottish champions.
Celtic's recent descent into European irrelevance has been marked by a series of poor performances, culminating in a 3-0 defeat against Celta Vigo in the Europa League. The team's intensity and momentum, which had previously been apparent, were absent in this match. Celta Vigo's passing game was effective, with over 350 passes made in the first half, resulting in only one shot on target.
The lack of Celtic's usual penetration was evident, as they struggled to break through the La Liga visitors' defense. From the 68th to the 71st minute, Celtic's performance deteriorated, leading to their defeat. Manager Martin O'Neill has been criticized for his team's performance, with some fans questioning his ability to motivate his players.
However, it is clear that Celtic's standards have plummeted, and their lack of success in European competitions is a cause for concern.
