in the game.
In the aftermath of the outcome, Valery Karpin has lamented Spartak’s latest defeat against the Scottish Premier League team that led to their elimination from the cup competition, saying that they were below par against a well
organized team.
The former Real Sociedad’s boss congratulated their worthy opponents upon their progression to the knock-out stage of the competition, saying that the Hoops deserve a place in the next round.
“I want to congratulate Celtic for the win. We were disappointed after conceding a penalty but that is how things go in football. But I can say that we had a good match too. I want to thank the fans for supporting us despite recent
failures.”
