In the wake of one of the most embarrassing losses for one of the historical powerhouses of European club football, Sky Sports UK have almost outdone former European champions Celtic in terms of forgettable moments.
Yesterday morning (NZT), the 47-time Scottish champions travelled to Gibraltar to take on reigning Gibraltarian champions Lincoln Red Imps for the first of two legs of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.
Playing competitively for the first time under the management of former Liverpool manager Brendon Rodgers in front of the 5000-capacity Victoria Stadium, the Scottish club were stunned by the semi-professional side, coming up short in a 1-0 loss in what is being regarded as one of the most embarrassing losses in Celtic's 128-year history.
With a player who has a day job as a police officer scoring the sole goal for Lincoln Red Imps, Rodgers insisted he was not embarrassed by the defeat, as he looks to triumph in the second leg at home on Thursday monring (NZT) to avoid being knocked out of Europe's premier club competition in the qualification stages by a semi-professional side that is the champion of a nation whose population is just 30,000.
