Celtic legend Chris Sutton says Champions League exit is 'embarrassing'

Chris Sutton has called Celtic's Champions League exit "embarrassing".

His formed side were beaten 2-1 by Ferencvaros at Celtic Park, with the shock result meaning Neil Lennon's side are out of Europe's top competition at the second qualifying round stage.

Sutton was unimpressed, and made his feelings clear on Twitter.

He said: "That’s a bad, bad night for Celtic. No excuses. Embarrassing. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail..."

At half-time, Sutton tweeted: "Decent end to the half but huge risk starting without a recognised centre forward."

Star striker Odsonne Edouard had missed out through injury, and Rangers legend Ally McCoist believes the result may trigger his departure.

Speaking on talkSPORT, McCoist said: "Edouard's, certainly on current form, the most valuable player in the country. Celtic clearly, clearly missed him to a massive degree last night.

"With the greatest respect to Odsonne Edouard, is he going to say 'That's us out of the Champions League, but I've got 10-in-a-row to look forward to'?

"No he's not. Come on, that's a West of Scotland thing between Rangers and Celtic. That's not going to affect a big striker with the ability of Odsonne Edouard.

"I'm not saying for a minute it'll happen in the next two or three months, but he will at some point move.

"But with that result, it's certainly given him and his agent something to think about."
