GLASGOW, SCOTLAND – FEBRUARY 27: Celtic manager Neil Lennon reacts as his team suffer a 1 – 3 defeat during the UEFA Europa League round of 32 second leg match between Celtic FC and FC Kobenhavn at Celtic Park on February 27, 2020 in Glasgow, United Kingdom. (Photo by Ian MacNicol/Getty Images) /

FLOP: Jozo Simunovic

Just what was he doing out there? Looked like a mistake waiting to happen in the first half and then fulfilled that promise after the break. Completely at fault for giving away the first FC Copenhagen goal when it Celtic were looking like the side more likely to open the scoring.

You have to question how or why Lennon has decided to give him a second run in the first team. He just does not look good enough for this level. Disastrous.

FLOP: Neil Lennon

We have been full of praise for him this week but he got it very wrong here. Probably should have stuck to the 3-5-2 that has served them so well over the last few months. His decision to go with Simunovic over the more reliable Bitton will also come into question.

This is the second time that he has been eliminated from an European competition while playing the second leg at Celtic Park this season, after CFR Cluj did the same earlier.

Very disappointing end to a brilliant Europa League campaign.
