CELTIC players have been hammered in the French press for a second time after their heavy defeat at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
Brendan Rodgers' side were dismantled during a 7-1 loss at the Parc des Princes and newspaper L'Equipe was once again highly critical of the Bhoys.
The publication gave the Hoops an average score of 3.2/10 in the wake of their 5-0 home defeat to PSG on the opening day of group stage action, but their score for last night's performance plummeted to 2.2/10.

Dedryck Boyata came in for most criticism with a score of 1/10 after a torrid evening trying to deal with the threat of Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani and Neymar.
Craig Gordon, James Forrest, Nir Bitton, Jozo Simunovic, Scott Brown and Callum McGregor didn't fare much better with 2/10 scores, while Moussa Dembele, Olivier Ntcham, Kieran Tierney, Tom Rogic and manager Brendan Rodgers came off best with ratings of 3/10.
In contrast, PSG's stars earned an average of 6.5/10, with Marco Verratti, Adrien Rabiot and Neymar particularly impressing with scores of 8/10.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
