With followers protesting towards the membership’s board firstly of the sport and later mockingly cheering Schmeichel making a save, the ambiance at Parkhead was removed from harmonious.
“It is bitterly disappointing,” former Celtic captain and supervisor Neil Lennon stated of the jeers directed at Schmeichel.
“He had a foul night time however it nonetheless would not warrant that form of therapy.”
Thursday night time was the most recent in a string of perceived errors made by Schmeichel, following Joe Hugill’s looping header for Kilmarnock final weekend and Jonathan Rowe’s effort for Bologna final month.
Maybe unsurprisingly, Celtic closed ranks round their embattled goalkeeper post-match.
“It is a robust night for us,” interim supervisor Martin O’Neill stated. “On paper, 4-1 seems fairly poor.
“We have been masters of our personal downfall in lots of respects, conceded some poor targets.
“Kasper [Schmeichel] has made some nice saves whereas I have been right here. It is a collective, there isn’t any doubt about that.
“We performed Feyenoord in a recreation we in all probability needed to win and he made an unbelievable save, in any other case we would not be right here taking part in tonight.
“I’ll take into consideration all kinds of issues [before the next game], however Kasper has carried out rather well since I’ve arrived on the soccer membership, in each spells.”
Captain Callum McGregor added: “Everybody makes errors.
“Kasper has been wonderful since he is come to the membership. He’ll mud that down. We win as a staff and lose as a staff.
“There isn’t any blame, he is made so many large saves for us. He’ll bounce again for positive.”
