LASK stun Celtic to reach the Champions League

Rangers fans are going to have a field day with this one and honestly who can blame them because the banter writes itself when your rivals are getting turned over like that after looking safe
 
The result is a reminder that European ties can swing on momentum as much as quality. Celtic had the advantage, but LASK kept the pressure high and forced the game into their terms, which is why the comeback happened.
 
The sensible takeaway is that LASK were excellent and Celtic lost control of the tie, but once you start looking at the reaction you realise this is about more than one match because everyone is using it as a stick to beat Scottish football with and then the whole thing turns into a bigger argument about co-efficient, access, prestige and who gets called a real champion and honestly football forums love nothing more than turning one brutal result into a full civilisation debate and now there will be people saying the competition is broken, people saying Celtic are a joke, people saying LASK are the story, and then someone will bring up a different league entirely and by the end nobody is even talking about the actual game anymore
