With followers protesting in opposition to the membership’s board initially of the sport and later paradoxically cheering Schmeichel making a save, the environment at Parkhead was removed from harmonious.
“It is bitterly disappointing,” former Celtic captain and supervisor Neil Lennon mentioned of the jeers directed at Schmeichel.
“He had a nasty night time however it nonetheless would not warrant that sort of remedy.”
Thursday night time was the newest 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 mentioned. “On paper, 4-1 appears to be like fairly poor.
“We had been masters of our personal downfall in lots of respects, conceded some poor objectives.
“Kasper [Schmeichel] has made some nice saves whereas I have been right here. This can be a collective, there is no doubt about that.
“We performed Feyenoord in a recreation we most likely 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 completed rather well since I’ve arrived on the soccer membership, in each spells.”
Captain Callum McGregor added: “Everybody makes errors.
“Kasper has been superb since he is come to the membership. He’ll mud that down. We win as a group and lose as a group.
“There is not any blame, he is made so many huge saves for us. He’ll bounce again for certain.”
