Struggling Celtic supporters probably don't want to hear what others think about their toiling team after a sore defeat to Lazio in the Stadio Olimpico.

But, for those of a green and white persuasion peering through their fingers, there is good news in a kind of offbeat way. Their horrendous record in the Champions League has become old news on a night they became the first British team to go 15 games without a win in the the world's richest tournament.

Their European ails are over for a another year and Maurizo Sarri's side are heading to the last 16. Ciro Immobile proved sprightly with a double off the bench as Brendan Rodgers and Celtic sift over the wreckage of another campaign packed with recriminations and near misses. Record Sport casts an eye across the globe and this is how media in other parts of the world view it. "A section of the Celtic fans, in the Distinti Sud, for the match against Lazio, has long been highly politicised and has been advancing the cause of Palestine for years.

So even today a Palestinian flag appeared in the sector of the Bhoys fans, while everyone in unison sang the chorus of 'Bella Ciao', to which Lazio's Curva Nord responded with loud whistles.
