O'Neill defiant in defeat but Celtic's 'flat-track bullies' fail another big test

Celtic suffered another defeat in the Europa League group stage, adding to a concerning pattern of losses in major fixtures that includes two European group matches and two derby defeats. The team's struggles in high-profile fixtures have led to criticism characterizing them as 'flat-track bullies' who fail to deliver against tougher competition.

Following the latest setback, manager Martin O'Neill remained defiant in defeat. Despite the mounting pressure and poor results in big games, O'Neill stated that he remains adamant he can identify positive signs moving forward.
