🚨 “CELTIC FANS WILL NOT BE HAPPY WITH THIS ONE…” — CONTROVERSIAL MOMENT AFTER FERENCVAROS DEFEAT LEAVES HOOPS SUPPORTERS FUMING AS MARTIN O’NEILL FACES HUGE QUESTIONS

Celtic’s difficult night took another painful turn on Thursday as Martin O’Neill’s side suffered a 3-1 defeat to Ferencvaros in their Europa League opener — and the scenes around Celtic Park have left supporters with plenty to discuss.

After the disappointment of losing 3-0 to Rangers in the League Cup, Celtic supporters were desperate for an immediate response. Instead, they watched their team produce another worrying performance, concede three goals and leave the stadium frustrated.

The result means Celtic have now suffered back-to-back defeats, with the Ferencvaros loss adding even more pressure ahead of another huge domestic fixture against Rangers.

But while the scoreline itself was enough to anger supporters, it was the overall performance — and some of the moments surrounding the game — that really caught attention.

For many Celtic fans, this was supposed to be the night when the team showed character.

Instead, the same defensive problems returned.

Celtic had opportunities early on and enjoyed periods of possession, but Ferencvaros were able to expose gaps far too easily. The visitors took the lead in the 20th minute when Bamidele Yusuf’s effort deflected off Liam Scales and found the net.

Celtic managed to respond before half-time through Mika Baur, giving the home support a brief reason to believe that a comeback could be possible.

However, that optimism lasted only moments.

Kristoffer Zachariassen restored Ferencvaros’ advantage just before the break, putting Celtic back under pressure at a crucial stage of the match. 0

Then came the moment that effectively changed the mood inside Celtic Park.

Former Celtic player Daniel Arzani produced a spectacular finish shortly after the restart, firing a 20-yard strike into the top corner to make it 3-1.

There was an added sting to the goal because of Arzani’s previous connection with Celtic. The Australian had spent time at the club on loan, but on this occasion he returned to Parkhead as an opponent and delivered a moment Celtic supporters will not forget quickly.

The goal also highlighted another defensive lapse, with Celtic unable to prevent the visitors from creating space around the edge of the box.

From there, the frustration around the stadium became increasingly obvious.

The Celtic supporters had arrived expecting a reaction following the Rangers defeat. Instead, they were left watching another collapse.

And that is where the controversial atmosphere surrounding the match becomes important.

The image circulating from the game has captured the mood among sections of the Celtic support, with fans visibly expressing their frustration during a night that quickly went away from the home side.

There was a feeling that supporters had seen enough.

This was not simply about losing one football match. It was about the manner of the defeat and the fact that Celtic appeared to be making the same mistakes again.

The defensive structure looked vulnerable, Celtic struggled to create enough clear chances and Ferencvaros were able to punish mistakes when they appeared.

That will naturally raise questions for O’Neill.

The Celtic manager had already been under pressure after the heavy defeat to Rangers, and another loss immediately afterwards makes the situation considerably more uncomfortable.

O’Neill had promised that Celtic would respond after the derby disappointment. Instead, the team suffered another defeat and conceded three more goals. Celtic have now conceded 11 goals across their last three major matches, according to reports following the Ferencvaros defeat. 1

That statistic alone explains why supporters are becoming increasingly concerned.

There were positives, particularly the way Baur managed to bring Celtic level before half-time. Celtic also created opportunities late in the game, but they could not find the goals needed to change the outcome.

The biggest problem was that the visitors looked more clinical when their chances arrived.

Ferencvaros did not need endless opportunities.

They punished Celtic’s mistakes.

For Celtic supporters, that is arguably the most worrying part.

European football is often decided by small moments, and Celtic gave their opponents too many opportunities to take advantage.

The defeat also comes at an extremely difficult time in the season.

The next major challenge is another meeting with Rangers.

That makes the timing of the Ferencvaros defeat particularly painful.
