Celtic Chiefs' Behavior Sparks Fan Outrage After Braga Europa League Defeat

News summary

Celtic suffered a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to Braga in their Europa League campaign, marked by a lackluster performance and controversy over a disallowed goal. Celtic's attacking players, including Kelechi Iheanacho, Benjamin Nygren, Paulo Bernardo, and Daizen Maeda, notably failed to register a single touch in Braga's box during the first half, highlighting the team's offensive struggles. The disallowed goal by Iheanacho, ruled out for a handball despite replays showing unclear evidence, left manager Brendan Rodgers and fans baffled, with VAR officials citing a slight arm contact as justification. Supporters were also upset by the behavior of Celtic's CFO Chris McKay, who was seen chuckling on his phone while the team was losing, fueling criticism on social media. Amid the turmoil, former player Petrov expressed surprise at Paulo Bernardo's inclusion over other players like Engels, suggesting internal competition for starting spots amid the club's difficulties. Overall, the match and surrounding events underscore Celtic's current challenges both on and off the pitch in their European campaign.
