It was only last season that Celtic beat Serie A second place club Lazio both home and away. 9,000 Celtic supporters went to Rome and witnessed history as Olivier Ntcham’s last minute chip handed the club their first win on Italian soil, securing top spot in the Europa League group in the process.
Now, Celtic are 20 points behind Rangers in the SPFL table and were humiliated in Europe this season. Not only did they fail to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, but they also suffered embarrassing 4-1 defeats to Sparta Prague and finished bottom of the Europa League group on one point.
UEFA’s unexpected upload prompted great memories, but also a reaction of disbelief as supporters wonder how things could go so wrong, so quickly.
