Celtic suffered another heavy defeat against Ferencvaros, raising concerns about Martin O'Neill's ability to guide the team through a slump. After a shellacking at Ibrox, the team conceded three more goals, displaying absent-minded midfield play and loose defending. The performance was described as a poor imitation of the aggressive, inventive style seen under Ange Postecoglou.

O'Neill acknowledged frustration and psychological damage in his post-match comments, promising to regroup for the upcoming Old Firm clash. However, his tone was flat, mirroring the team's leaden and stale display. Fans worry as the side resembles darker periods from 2019 and 2020, lacking intensity and work-rate.

Celtic had 62.5% possession in the first half but trailed 2-1, with Camilo Duran offering little despite starting. The team needs solutions and inspiration to halt the worrying trend.
