Celtic's Champions League hopes collapsed at LASK after surrendering a 4-0 aggregate lead, with captain Callum McGregor delivering a searing post-match critique. He branded his teammates 'passive' and 'scared', saying 'now we'll see what people are made of' in a rare display of fury. McGregor, a near ever-present for close to a decade, has endured numerous European humiliations, including 7-1 losses to Dortmund and PSG, 6-0 to Atletico, and shootout failures against Kairat Almaty.

Despite opening the scoring with a deflected shot to make it 4-0, Celtic unraveled as LASK scored three unanswered goals. Benjamin Nygren's loose pass led to the first LASK goal, and Auston Trusty was culpable for the second. Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh faded, passes went astray, and the team looked directionless under pressure.

Martin O'Neill watched on, calling it one of his worst nights in football. McGregor's calm but powerful words highlighted a collapse of professional pride, with too many players panicking when the chips were down.
