Kazakh underdogs send Celtic packing from Champions League
-
BRENDAN RODGERS admits Celtic will need to hold an inquest into the summer transfer window shambles that has cost the club a €46m Champions League bonanza.
The boss was left devastated after the embarrassment of crashing out at the playoff stage following shootout agony against Kazah minnows Kairat.
Daizen Maeda, Ireland star Adam Idah and Luke McCowan all missed from the spot as Celts were sent tumbling into the Europa League.
Rodgers admitted he understands the fans’ anger at the club’s failure to replace key players Kyogo Furuhashi, Nicolas Kuhn and Jota for the crunch clash.
Attacker Michel-Ange Balikwisha and left-back Marcelo Saracchi will check in today — but it’s too late as far as punters are concerned.
