Celts Crash Out of League Cup at Ibrox with Pathetic Performance

4 Tims and a Podcast

About

It’s another miserable afternoon at Ibrox for Celtic as the Hoops crash out of the League Cup in humiliating fashion, going down 3-0 to Derek McInnes’ Rangers side in a performance that leaves far more questions than answers.


Darren, Tony, Danny and Andy get stuck into the shambles from start to finish — from the baffling team selection to another big-game capitulation. Why was Sebastian Tounekti handed a starting place despite a string of uninspiring performances this season, while big-money signing Haissem Hassam was left on the bench amid reports he had barely slept?


And in a performance where almost nobody covered themselves in glory, was young right-back Colby Donovan the only Celtic player who could walk off that pitch with anything approaching pass marks?


But the biggest question is the one Celtic fans are asking: who is actually to blame?


Is it manager Martin O’Neill? Is the coaching setup failing the team? Are the players simply not good enough when the pressure is on — with captain Callum McGregor once again struggling to make an impact in a major game? Or does the ultimate responsibility sit with the Celtic Board
