Celtic are on the brink of exit from the Europa League after being outclassed by a vastly superior Valencia side at Paradise on Thursday evening.

The Bhoys' dream of achieving something worth shouting about in Europe has been at the core of their ambitions in recent years.

They have largely been outclassed in the Champions League against teams who are in more advantageous financial positions, but the Europa League has provided a more level playing field this season.

However, the manner in which Valencia dominated proceedings on Thursday was a damning indictment of the gaping gulf in class between Celtic and some of Europe's other well established clubs.

Plenty of individuals looked out of their depth throughout the game, but Scott Brown was particularly suspect against Dani Parejo and Francis Coquelin thereafter following the half-time substitution.

At 33-years-old it is hardly surprising that he struggled to cope with the pace of an intense European clash, but that has not prevented the supporters from ridiculing his performance.

Indeed, a handful of fans were eager to criticise the 55-cap Scotland international's display, citing his lacklustre passing and physical incompetency as two notable deficiencies in his game.

The Celtic Park legend has been a figure of immense popularity in Glasgow throughout his career, but that has not prevented the supporters from expressing their displeasure at his most recent performance.
