The aftermath of Celtic’s 1-0 defeat from Lincoln Red Imps has been swift and brutal.
Sob stories aren’t required as supporters let loose with their anger over a result that most would describe as the worst in club history.
There has been other humiliating and painful defeats but generally they’ve come against full-time professional clubs.
With three years of UEFA experience Lincoln have no pedigree and until last night no history- over 90 minutes that changed dramatically.
During that spell just after half-time there could have been much more than one goal scored but ‘fortunately’ net week Celtic only have to overturn the goal from Lee Cascairo.
When the Celtic team is announced on Wednesday for the return leg we’ll all have a clearer idea of how Brendan Rodgers goes about constructing his team. Some big names look vulnerable, very vulnerable but until the team is named supporters will have to make do with guesswork.
Most fans have sympathy for Efe Ambrose, patience with those that select the Nigerian is in shorter supply.
Ever since his disastrous return from the African Nations Cup to face Juventus in 2013 his career has been on a downspin.
However Neil Lennon continued to pick him, Ronny Deila did the same and after one match of Brendan Rodgers it seems that he is still rated.
A replacement seems to be in short supply but Eoghan O’Connell really should be capable of stepping in and keeping a clean sheet alongside Erik Sviachenko when Lincoln visit Celtic next week.
