Celtic goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo has described the setback as "probably the toughest period of our careers" after his side's dramatic exit from UEFA Champions League qualifying. Martin O'Neill's side lost in the second leg against LASK after winning 3-0 in the first leg and were ultimately beaten 4-3, one of the worst defeats in the club's history. Sinisalo was able to save a penalty in extra time, giving his team one last hope of an equalizer, but the pressure from the opponent was too great to turn the game around. "The dressing room was a scene of shock and silence after the game. Obviously it's hard to explain. I'm trying to do it because the fans don't deserve something like that," Sinisalo said. He emphasized that the disappointment affected all players. "It's very hard for me to be here and explain what happened. We're all speechless about what happened. I came into a locker room that was quiet, together, but it's a tough moment for everyone. Individually and collectively, it's probably the most difficult moment of our careers. The only way to get past this is to stick together and play again on Saturday." Sinisalo also dismissed speculation about possible arrogance on the part of his team after they won so clearly in the first leg: "We can't change what we did there now. I don't think it was arrogance. They scored a goal at a crucial time, which changed the momentum. Football is a strange game. I could give many explanations, but ultimately, if I were a fan, I wouldn't want to listen to the players after a game like that." The shocked reaction of the players and coaches shows how deep this setback is for Celtic. The team now faces the challenge of recovering quickly from this shock and concentrating on the next games in order to still have a positive season. The focus now is on restoring the team's morale and successfully mastering the next challenges in the league.

What happens next

Celtic will now look to recover from this setback and focus on the games ahead. Sinisalo and his teammates have to pull themselves together to be successful in the league and other competitions. The next challenge could be crucial to regain the trust of fans and prepare for the 2026 World Cup.
