An embarrassing Champions League exit Tuesday for Celtic in the qualifying playoffs somehow was even worse than last year. Celtic led 4-0 on aggregate score Tuesday after a half hour of the second leg in Austria, yet five unanswered goals by LASK — the fifth and decisive one coming in extra time of a 5-1 win — still felt like coach Martin O’Neill’s team got off lightly with a 5-4 loss on aggregate score. It is now two straight years the Scottish title holder has wasted clear chances to play on the lucrative biggest stage of European club soccer by losing in late-August to an unheralded team advancing for the very first time.
