Celtic slumped to a 2-1 home loss to Dutch giants Ajax last night to end their interest in European competition for the next nine months at least.

Incredibly in 25 European matches with the Scottish champions, manager Ronny Deila has managed just eight wins - with four of those coming against part-time Icelandic sides.

Striker Leigh Griffiths missed a number of chances he would normally put away at his ease, and after the game he was hugely angry at his own performance and that of the team. https://twitter.com/Leighgriff09/status/670002353458778112 Griffiths is a passionate character at the best of times but most ire was reserved for the manager Delia, with even some former players coming out to criticise the Norwegian. https://twitter.com/buff_egan/status/670010326964961280 https://twitter.com/LaineydooO/status/670000431741935617 https://twitter.com/DanielCusack88/status/670029291959230465 https://twitter.com/rorydaly/status/670012025968398336
