Besiktas star Amir Murillo has slammed his own teammates ahead of their trip to face Celtic, after they threw away a two-goal lead.
Celtic welcome the Turkish giants in their fourth match of the league phase of the Europa League after suffering three defeats to Ferencvaros, Benfica and Celta Vigo.
Martin O'Neill's side suffered a shock defeat at Falkirk at the weekend, but Besiktas slipped to six points behind league leaders Galatasaray after they blew a 2-0 lead to only draw against Kasimpasa.
And Panama international defender Murillo was critical of his colleagues, before this week's match in Glasgow.

He said: "We didn't do what we needed to do after going two goals up. We lost our rhythm. We relaxed. And that's why we lost two important points. It's very disappointing because we play well at home, but seem to have a problem away from home and we need to improve in those games.
"We need to show these kinds of performances that we do at home to be challenging at the top of the league."
And Portuguese international stopper Tiago Djalo agreed that Besiktas have a problem on their travels. The former Juventus and AC Milan star said: "Unfortunately, we can't seem to win away games at the moment.
"The only thing we can do is work harder and improve. I understand the disappointment and anger from the fans."
