Celtic were eliminated from the Champions League following a 5-4 aggregate defeat to LASK in their play-off tie. Despite holding a four-goal aggregate lead after Callum McGregor scored in the 21st minute of the second leg, the Scottish champions conceded multiple goals to allow the Austrian side to overturn the deficit and win after extra time.
The result marks the second consecutive year that Celtic have failed to qualify for the Champions League group stage. As a consequence of the loss, the club will now transition to competing in the Europa League.
