Kasper Schmeichel's every touch was booed by a section of Celtic fans in the aftermath of conceding two soft goals in a 4-1 Europa League defeat by Stuttgart. Manager Martin O'Neill stepped up to defend former Leicester City Premier League title-winner Schmeichel but he widely took the brunt of pundit criticism alongside the supporters' ire. Kasper Schmeichel was booed by his own fans after a disastrous Europa League display'Teams will be saying there appears to be a weakness to his left-hand side.' Ex-Celtic striker Chris Sutton added on X: 'This is a bang average Celtic team outclassed by an OK Stuttgart team. 'I will think about all sorts of things [before the next game], but Kasper has done really well since I've arrived at the football club.'
