Bhoys goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was left furious as a result, prompting his dad, Peter, to make a cheeky comment while covering the match.

After joining Adeyemi for his CBS Sports interview with Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards, Schmeichel Snr joked: “I’ll never forgive you for what you did to my boy today!”

He then went on to praise the winger for his impressive performance.

Schmeichel urged Celtic to move on as quickly as possible following the dismal defeat and opened up about the heartfelt advice he gave his son at full-time.

The ex-goalkeeper said: “It really is difficult. You always want the best for your children, no matter what circumstance they find themselves in.

“It was just one of those days that you can never, ever, explain. There was so many shots and so many of them went in – there could have been a little bit more.

“As Callum McGregor said to me earlier, it was just one of those days where you couldn’t get close enough to it.”

He continued: “I spoke to Kasper after the game. I said ‘this was a bad day and the office and nothing more.

“You concede seven goals. I did this once in my life and you can come away from the game thinking you probably couldn’t have done much about all seven, but I still conceded seven and my job is to stop the goals. Of course, you’re going to look at it.

“Take it and move on, be one of the leaders in the dressing room and help everyone else learn from this.’

New Champions League format is a snorefest

By Dan King

UEFA sold the idea of expanding the Champions League from 32 to 36 teams, with each playing eight games instead of six in the opening phase, as a way of creating more competitiveness and excitement.

The biggest clubs would have two matches against their peers, rather than having to wait until the knockout stage to meet.

The smaller clubs would meet teams of a similar level twice and have a chance of tasting victory that was so hard to achieve if you were the bottom seed in a group of four.

Ignoring for a moment the fact that the real motivation was the simple equation of more games = more money, the theory itself already looks flawed.

None of the matches between European giants has delivered a compelling contest yet.

And why would they? At the start of the long season with more matches in it, why would any team with ambitions to win things in the spring, go out all guns blazing in the autumn?

Especially when they know they have six games NOT against big sides to make sure they accrue enough points to qualify at least for the play-off round (and even more games).

There is even less jeopardy than before.
