Celtic lost 2-1 to Celta Vigo in the Europa League, their third straight defeat in the competition.
Celtic lost 2-1 to Celta Vigo in the Europa League at Celtic Park on Thursday, their third straight defeat in the competition. Mika Baur gave Celtic the lead just after the break, sweeping home a deflected cross from Haissem Hassan. However, Celta Vigo responded swiftly with two goals from Javi Rodriguez—first a header from a free-kick, then a strike from 20 yards—to secure the win.
Celtic had appealed for a penalty when Callum Osmand was pushed in the box in the first half, but the referee declined to award it. Liam Scales hit the crossbar for Celtic as they pressed for an equaliser. The defeat leaves Celtic pointless after three games in the league phase, extending their struggles in European competition despite their dominant domestic form.
