Celtic were dumped out of Europe on Thursday night.
Celtic were dumped out of the Europa League last night.
Brendan Rodgers’s side lost 1-0 at Valencia, after losing the first leg 2-0 at Parkhead last week.
Kevin Gameiro killed the tie by tapping home from close range on 70 minutes to end Celtic’s hopes of turning around the deficit.
The Hoops were arguably the better side for much of the first half, but Jeremy Toljan’s red card on 37 minutes put paid to their chances.
Every Celtic player will be disappointed by the defeat this morning, but Scott Brown, a £4.4 million signing in 2007 [The Guardian], looked particularly deflated.
The good news is that the Bhoys’ exit from Europe allows them to concentrate on domestic duties.
Rodgers’s troops, who have an eight-point lead over Rangers in the Premiership title race, have already won the Scottish League Cup and if they win the Scottish Cup then it’s very probable that they’ll win a third successive treble.
