Jason Cundy gutted he can't put boot into Celtic as Champions League heroics leave shock jock eating humble pie

Shock jock Jason Cundy admitted he was gutted that he couldn’t put the boot into Celtic after their Champions League heroics against Europa League champions Atalanta.

Brendan Rodgers’ side battled to a brilliant Bergamo draw to put them in with a great chance of progressing in Uefa’s premier competition. Earlier this month, radio loudmouth Cundy and sidekick Jamie O’Hara filleted the Hoops for their 7-1 thrashing at the hands of Borussia Dortmund and claimed they were “embarrassing Scottish and British football”.

The Englishman is renowned for aiming digs at Scottish football, including the national team during Euro 2024, but Celtic have been a regular target and Cundy said he was becoming bored with the annual dissection of their poor displays in Europe.

But he was left disappointed this time around with Celtic’s brilliant result in northern Italy and on his late night show the former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea defender said: "Even Celtic let me down tonight. I was hoping they would drop points. Some result by the way. Great result.”

O’Hara added: “Great result. Atalanta are a decent team,” before Cundy agreed: “They are and they couldn't get their pants pulled down again after they got humbled. Was it seven they got spanked?” O’Hara said: “They’ve got four points.”
