With two games left the Hoops sit in 21st place after Celtic drew with Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia on Tuesday night.

Young Boys were on duty last night against VfB Stuttgart and despite a promising start, the Champions League strugglers collapsed in a calamitous 45 second-half minutes.

Young Boys are really suffering in UEFA’s flagship tournament this year. After taking a 6th-minute lead through Lukasz Lakomy.

But despite holding onto a 1-1 draw heading into halftime, the Swiss side collapsed just ten minutes into the second half.

Have a watch of this.

Stuttgart’s second goal knocked the stuffing out of Young Boys after VAR refused to rule out the strike and after that, the Swiss side capitulated.

In 22 minutes, David Wagner’s side simply gave up and conceded four to record their third defeat by five goals or more in the competition.
