With fans protesting against the club’s board at the start of the game and later ironically cheering Schmeichel making a save, the atmosphere at Parkhead was far from harmonious.<\/p>\n
“It’s bitterly disappointing,” former Celtic captain and manager Neil Lennon said of the jeers directed at Schmeichel.<\/p>\n
“He had a bad night but it still doesn’t warrant that kind of treatment.”<\/p>\n
Thursday night was the latest in a string of perceived errors made by Schmeichel, following Joe Hugill’s looping header for Kilmarnock last weekend and Jonathan Rowe’s effort for Bologna last month.<\/p>\n
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Celtic closed ranks around their embattled goalkeeper post-match.<\/p>\n
“It’s a tough evening for us,” interim manager Martin O’Neill said. “On paper, 4-1 looks pretty poor. <\/p>\n
“We were masters of our own downfall in many respects, conceded some poor goals.<\/p>\n
“Kasper [Schmeichel] has made some great saves while I’ve been here. This is a collective, there’s no doubt about that.<\/p>\n
“We played Feyenoord in a game we probably had to win and he made an unbelievable save, otherwise we wouldn’t be here playing tonight.<\/p>\n
“I will think about all sorts of things [before the next game], but Kasper has done really well since I’ve arrived at the football club, in both spells.”<\/p>\n
Captain Callum McGregor added: “Everyone makes mistakes. <\/p>\n
“Kasper has been amazing since he’s come to the club. He’ll dust that down. We win as a team and lose as a team. <\/p>\n
“There’s no blame, he’s made so many big saves for us. He’ll bounce back for sure.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
