Martin O'Neill put on the spot over Celtic's European failings
Celtic have six league-phase matches left after conceding three first-half goals and falling to 34th in the 36-team table, O'Neill said.
- On Thursday, Celtic suffered a 4-1 defeat against Benfica in Lisbon, leaving the Scottish champions 34th of 36 in the Europa League league phase table after two matches.
- Celtic's problems began inside five minutes when Dane Murray fouled Jhon Durán in the penalty area, allowing Benfica to establish control and build a 3-0 lead by half-time.
- Camilo Durán scored in the 63rd minute, capitalizing on a second-half resurgence sparked by substitutes Haissem Hassan and Callum Osmand, whom O'Neill praised for their impact.
- Despite the defeat, manager Martin O'Neill remains optimistic about qualifying for the knockout stages, though Celtic has conceded 12 goals across three European games this season.
- Celtic returns to domestic action on Sunday to host Hearts, aiming to reset after the continental loss with six league-phase matches remaining to salvage their European campaign.
