Sorry Celtic crash to four-star Utrecht

CELTIC manager Neil Lennon admits last night’s Europa League exit at the hands of Utrecht was just as bad as their infamous shock defeat to Ross County in the Active Nation Scottish Cup last season.

The Hoops had boasted a 2-0 advantage from last week’s first leg at Parkhead and appeared to be in the driving seat.

But a Ricky van Wolfswinkel hat-trick – which included two penalties – and a goal from Barry Maguire (who was called up to the Republic of Ireland U21s last year but rejected the invitation) saw Utrecht progress in style with a 4-0 win on the night to leave Lennon reeling.
