The debacle on Letná was not the worst. After Thursday’s 1: 4 defeat with Sparta in the European League, the Celtic Glasgow footballers cut off an even worse disgrace. In the second round of the Betfred Cup, they were eliminated 0-2 after a home defeat with Ross County, ending a series of 35 winning matches in domestic cup competitions. That was too much for the fans of the famous club. Despite the coronavirus restrictions, they headed to Celtic Park Stadium, where they gave way to their frustrations.

Their anger at the desperate results was exacerbated by the fact that coach Neil Lennon refused to resign even after another embarrassment.
“I will not answer hypothetical questions. It’s too early for that (resignation). We lost the chance to win one trophy. But only for one. Our priority is, as we well know, the league. There is still a lot of time to turn everything in our favor, “said Lennon after Sunday’s defeat.

“Lennon out!” The supporters shouted. But there were also sharper slogans, such as, “Lennon, Lennon, fuck you.”
Some protesters threw rockets at the players’ cars. Police and a helicopter had to be deployed.
In his statement, Celtic strongly condemned the violent behavior of the fans. The club will investigate the incident.
