The Hoops were shamelessly put to the sword in an embarrassing evening in the UEFA Champions League.

They went into the game with quiet confidence, but after half an hour, such belief was soon wiped out, as the Bhoys found themselves in an almost unsalvageable position.

Emre Can opened the scoring in the first half before Karim Adeyemi bagged a hat-trick before the break. Imposing striker Serhou Guirassy also got in on the act, with substitute Felix Nmecha scoring, too.

Dortmund taught the Scottish Premiership champions a footballing lesson and exposed each and every one of their faults.

Although Celtic defeated Slovan Bratislava 5-1 on matchday one, losses like last night’s are becoming far too familiar for the Parkhead faithful.

Dortmund became the latest in a long list of sides, such as Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid, to score five or more goals against Celtic in the past eight years.

Supporters are used to these continual European humblings, but it was goalkeeper Schmeichel’s first last night.

The Dane made numerous saves to prevent the scoreline from being even more embarrassing, but he also shipped seven goals.

After the game, he bumped into his Dad, Peter, who gave him some advice.

“I spoke to Kasper as he came out of the game here”, revealed the now-retired shot-stopper (CBS Sports Golazo).

“I said, this is a bad, bad day at the office. Take it for nothing more, move on, be one of the leaders in the dressing room and help everybody else recover from this.

“Up until this point, don’t forget, Celtic have played really, really good football, and there’s so much optimism at the club.

“This was just a really, really bad day at the office.”
