celtic are out of europe, what went wrong? celtic boss brendan rodgers claimed his team needed to have more courage. but his young side will learn from the experience. they crashed out of the europa league after a 3—1 aggregate defeat against zenit st petersburg. celtic had led 1—0 from the first leg, but conceded three goals in a disappointing performance. they had 67% of possession but clearly lacked a cutting edge, with rodgers saying his team needed to show more bravery to play more positively going forward. the arsenal survived a scare in the last 32 tie, it is now six years in a row they have lost the home leg of their european tie, they went 2—0 down to their swedish opponents, 0stersunds, banks to a 3—0 first leg lead and this goal from sayed kolasinac, they went through, 4—2, and arsene wenger hoping to avoid a difficult draw for the last 16, that will be taking place at midday. too many mistakes and too many lives lost, and it's got to stop. that's what the health secretary, jeremy hunt, has told this progr
