Celts Crash Out of Champions League in Humiliating Fashion

4 Tims and a Podcast

About

It looked like Celtic had one foot firmly in the Champions League proper. Leading 1-0 on the night and 4-0 on aggregate with just an hour to play, surely there was no way back for Austrian champions LASK Linz?


Somehow, Celtic found one and handed it to them.


In one of the most astonishing collapses in the club's European history, Celtic completely capitulated as LASK tore them apart, eventually winning 5-1 on the night and 5-4 on aggregate after extra time.


On this episode of 4 Tims and a Podcast, we dissect one of Celtic's worst-ever results. How did a team that looked completely in control suddenly fall apart so spectacularly? Was it individual errors, a failure of the management team to react, or deeper problems within the Celtic boardroom?


We discuss the players, the tactics, the substitutions, the mentality and the decisions from the touchline — before asking the biggest question of all:

Who is ultimately to blame for one of the most humiliating nights in Celtic's European history?


A night that began with Champions League dreams ended in complete and utter disaster. We break down exactly how it happened.
