O'Neill Accepts Responsibility for Celtic's Champions League Exit

Martin O'Neill has accepted full responsibility for Celtic's unexpected exit from the Champions League after they squandered a four-goal aggregate lead against LASK.

Celtic initially controlled the tie following a strong first leg performance, but a chaotic second half in Austria saw them concede enough goals to force extra time, ultimately losing 5-4 on aggregate.

This defeat marks a painful moment for Celtic, especially following their previous year's disappointment at the same stage. O'Neill, who took over after Brendan Rodgers, now faces the challenge of rebuilding the team, as the failure to qualify for the Champions League could significantly impact the club's finances and recruitment efforts.
