Willie McStay had an even more miserable time than most Celtic fans last night as Ujpest Dozsa lost 1-0 at home to ZTE in the first leg of their Magyar Cup Semi Final.
A last minute goal from Balazas capped off a bad night for the home side who have been unable to recapture the form that they showed before the winter break.
Beating league leaders Videoton home and away in the quarter finals earned Ujpest their semi-final place but McStay is still hopeful of turning the semi-final around.
He said: "It was a bad night allround, we had a player sent off then lost a last minute goal.
"I can't fault my players efforts in any way, they are giving me everything but not much is going our way just now.
"We're working as hard as we can with a small squad but when we are down a couple of players it makes things very difficult.
"I've still got faith in the players, they have had a great season and showed with their wins over Videoton and Debrecen that they are as good as anyone in the country.
"We'll have to lift ourselves for the league at the weekend before we can think about the return match with ZTE.
"We're still in the cup and given the breaks more than capable of winning the return leg and reaching the final."
