The autopsy of Celtic's shambolic Old Firm display against Rangers is well and truly underway, and the pressure is on for Martin O'Neill to find answers.
O'Neill knows he has the Europa League opener on Thursday night, and then a home Old Firm clash with Rangers in the league. A repeat of Sunday in that game, and fans are going to reach boiling point.
We have covered the finer details of the game in other stories, but we can sum up Celtic's Old Firm performance by saying they showed all the grit and resilience of a paper bag against a Rangers side that looked ready to go to war.
It wasn't about the defeat. Derbies are won and lost, as are cup games, but the lack of intensity was unacceptable.
But we have seen this before from Celtic this season, and it cannot be ignored. This Bhoys side does have quality. Some of what have already seen from Camilo Duran and Haissem Hassan is unlikely to be matched in the Scottish Premiership, and there have been some positive signs from Kasper Hogh and Mika Baur.
And it's not just the new boys, Celtic's back four, when fully fit, of Cameron Carter-Vickers, Auston Trusty, Kieran Tierney and Alistair Johnston is the best in the league.
But this team might be bottlers
Dominating lesser teams in the Premiership is one thing, and losing to better teams in Europe is another, but can we really explain what happened in that second leg against LASK?
The tide started turning against Celtic and they couldn't stop it from getting out of hand. They couldn't stop their opponents scoring five goals without reply, and while they had some decent attackers, LASK were, on paper, an inferior side.
It felt similar Ibrox. Rangers scored, and the game started going against Celtic, but they could not find a way to turn the tide Everyone was expecting the Hoops to at least have 10-15 minutes of pounding on the door, but they didn't.
They hardly managed to get out of their own half, and they couldn't stop Rangers from coming and coming, as Callum McGregor admitted himself.
So, that's two big occasions, two collapses and two games that saw Celtic fail to find a single answer for what was going wrong. That's a failure of the manager, the captain and the players, who should be coming together to correct issues. And it's all well and good learning from the results, but they need to have the ability to make corrections during games to prevent the results happening in the first place.
There is no point pretending. You are where you are. So far, it is two from two that Celtic have bottled, so until they prove us wrong, what are they?
