Celtic Out of Champions League After Austrian Collapse
LASK scored five unanswered goals, including two in extra time, to complete a 5-4 aggregate comeback and send Celtic into the Europa League.
- On last Tuesday, LASK overturned a four-goal aggregate deficit to eliminate Celtic from the Champions League, securing a 5-4 aggregate victory with a 5-1 win in Linz.
- After cruising to a 3-0 first-leg victory in Glasgow, Celtic traveled to Austria appearing positioned to secure Champions League qualification when captain Callum McGregor scored in the 21st minute to extend the aggregate lead to 4-0.
- Moses Usor scored in the 32nd minute, followed by Robert Ljubicic in the 48th and Samuel Adeniran in the 58th, before Florian Flecker leveled the aggregate score in the 90+1st minute at the Raiffeisen Arena.
- The 5-1 defeat delivered a £20 million-plus blow to the club, as manager Martin O'Neill now prepares his squad for the Europa League after missing Champions League qualification.
- Fans are questioning the decision to sell midfielder Arne Engels before the first leg, while the team's inability to hold the three-goal lead will dominate discussion as Celtic regroups from this European exit.
