Celtic's dramatic collapse in their Champions League playoff second leg against LASK has led to significant fallout, with one player deleting his social media accounts after facing fan backlash. The Scottish club held a commanding four-goal lead at one stage of the match, seemingly on course for a comfortable progression.

However, the team suffered a stunning reversal, losing the advantage and ultimately missing out on the coveted promotion to the Champions League. The disappointment among the fanbase was palpable, and the criticism quickly extended to the players via social media platforms.

Forward Luke McCowan appears to have been a primary target of the fans' anger. In response to the intense criticism following the team's on-field capitulation, McCowan reportedly deleted his social media profiles. This action highlights the intense pressure and scrutiny players face, particularly after such a significant and unexpected defeat.
