Four things Celtic must do to ensure they can compete in Europe every year

Celtic’s recent cycle of European exploits has been underwhelming to say the least.

The Hoops either don’t get through the qualification period or they exit competitions with a bit of a whimper.

After qualifying for the Champions League this year, Celtic won just two of their eight matches in Europe (six in the Champions League, two in the Europa League).

A club the size of Celtic should be competing in Europe, but something, or some things, are holding them back.

I’ve taken a look at four things that Celtic should do if they want to become a side who can compete in European competition every season.
