We asked for your views on Celtic’s 3-1 defeat against Midtjylland in the Europa League.
Here’s what some of you said:
John: I don’t think we should read too much into this game. We know we are below this level at the moment. I believe we should concentrate on our domestic games and try and rebuild from there. One of the things that I think is obvious is we need bigger and stronger players to match the physicality of these other teams.
Steven: We’ve seen this performance coming since transfer deadline day. Now here we are with virtually no forward options and a threadbare squad. I’m so glad we didn’t end up in the Champions League. This year I’m not sure we would have coped with Conference League, which is where this club is heading if nothing changes.
James: Really poor defensive performance. Underlines what we knew from last season’s cup final, that a number of players are adequate for our domestic games but the lack of quality is seriously exposed in Europe. Let’s forfeit Europe this season and win our domestic competitions. Concentrate on bringing in a top manager and an injection of quality players throughout the team.
Patrick: It’s now obvious that not all the problems are resolved, if it wasn’t obvious already. Very tired players meaning they switched off too much. The injuries are really concerning now, that could be our undoing.
Andy: Could have been worse and demonstrates the lack of quality and depth in the squad. Exertion from Sunday can’t be used as an excuse. I can’t understand why no matter who is in charge we never change for Europe. Set-up is same as playing in SPFL when the opposition is 100 times better.
Paul: Back to reality with yet another European away-day nightmare for Celtic whose frailties were totally exposed by a very dominant Midtjylland side. Unless the hierarchy in the boardroom invest more money into buying quality players who can perform in Europe, then these poor results will continue I’m afraid.
