Kairat Almaty 0-0 Celtic (3-2 on pens): Daizen Maeda rues misses as woeful Hoops crash out of Champions League

  /  autty

Daizen Maeda missed a sitter and a penalty as woeful Celtic crashed out of the Champions League to Kairat Almaty.

The Hoops failed to score over 210 minutes against a team ranked 311th in Europe as they are left to settle for a place in the Europa League.

Maeda passed up a brilliant chance to win it as extra-time loomed in a disappointing display in Kazakhstan, with the Japan international then missing the Hoops' decisive spot kick after Adam Idah and Luke McCowan also missed from the spot.

The fans chanted 'Sack the Board' after the first leg in frustration at the lack of summer signings, with this latest failure likely to see the apathy increase ahead of transfer deadline day.
