Former striker Chris Sutton described Celtic as "fragile" ahead of their crucial Europa League clash against Besiktas. Speaking on The Warm Up, Sutton argued that recent poor domestic results against Falkirk and Dundee United were unsurprising, claiming the squad possesses clear personnel issues that must be addressed in the January transfer window.

The Celtic Bhoys argues that the club's board is responsible for an inefficient recruitment strategy that left manager Martin O'Neill with a squad incapable of competing in Europe.
