What happened. Celtic surrendered a three-goal first-leg lead as LASK scored five without reply, ending their Champions League hopes.

• Celtic's £40m prize money slipped away with the defeat.
• First time Celtic lost a three-goal lead since 1963-64.
• Late signings Mika Baur and Haissem Hassan arrived too late to help.
