WHILE Celtic players celebrated their fifth successive title success with the 7-0 drubbing of Motherwell, two other Hoops loan stars saw their sides relegated.
Nadir Ciftci’s Turkish outfit, Eskisehirsor, lost 2-1 at home to Medipol Basaksehir and didn’t quite exit the Super Lig in a blaze of glory.
Furious home fans set fire to parts of the Eskisehir Ataturk stadium after relegation was confirmed.
And Stefan Scepovic played the full 90 minutes as Getafe went down 2-1 at Real Betis to the lose their La Liga status. They toppled out of the Spanish top flight along with Rayo Vallecano and Levante.
But it was in Turkey where the real fireworks were as Ciftci, who scored three goals during his four-month stay at Eskisehirsor, couldn’t prevent the axe falling on his team who went into the last game of the campaign knowing they required a victory to have any hope of staying up.
They crashed to a last-minute goal and that triggered off remarkable scenes as the stadium felt the full force of outraged supporters who began setting alight parts of the ground. According to reports in Turkey , three people were injured during the horrifying incident. 
The club are due to move to a new stadium next season, but the authorities will now probe the frightening scenes after the match.
Ciftci, who cost £1.5million from Dundee United last July, and Scepovic, who was valued at £2.3million when he arrived from Sporting Gijon in August 2014, will return to Parkhead in the summer.
Ronny Deila’s replacement will have to make a decision on their long-term futures at the club.
