Neil Lennon and Stan Petrov question Celtic players after Europa League loss

Following Celtic's ongoing struggles, former captain Neil Lennon criticized the team's game management during a recent Europa League match against Ferencvarosi TC on September 17, 2026. Lennon attributed the team's poor performance and decision-making to the players, despite manager Martin O’Neill's efforts to freshen the squad with four changes. Stan Petrov echoed these concerns, asserting the team's current style does not reflect O’Neill’s traditional approach, suggesting inefficiencies in play that need addressing. These comments come after Celtic's recent 3-0 loss to rivals Rangers, raising questions about the team's direction and coaching methods.
