Celtic Europa League Odds: Hoops Face Marseille & Benfica After LASK Collapse
Celtic's route into the Europa League could hardly have been more dramatic.
Martin O'Neill's side looked to have the Champions League play-off against LASK wrapped up after racing into a 4-0 aggregate lead inside 21 minutes of the second leg in Austria, only to suffer a stunning collapse and lose 5-1 on the night - 5-4 on aggregate after extra time.
It sends the Scottish champions crashing into the Europa League league phase instead, for the second year running, and they now face a stern set of tests against opponents from six different countries.
