- On Thursday night, Celtic suffered a 3-1 defeat to Ferencvaros at Parkhead in their Europa League opener, with manager Martin O'Neill describing the result as a "European lesson."
- A 3-0 Premier Sports Cup defeat to Rangers on Sunday had already derailed the Hoops, contributing to psychological pressure ahead of this weekend's William Hill Premiership rematch.
