Frank McAvennie, a former striker for Celtic, has raised alarms about the club's declining stature in Scottish football, stating that they have lost their fear factor. Despite winning 13 of the last 14 top-flight titles, Celtic currently sits third in the league, trailing leaders Hearts by three points with only five matches remaining. The club's recent struggles, including managerial changes and defeats in finals to Aberdeen and St Mirren, have contributed to a lack of confidence. McAvennie noted that teams no longer fear facing Celtic, which is a significant shift from their dominance in recent years. He emphasized that if Celtic finishes third and fails to win the Scottish Cup, they could find themselves competing in the UEFA Europa Conference League next season, a scenario that would be disappointing for the club's supporters.
