Trivia

  • UEFA Cup, 2nd leg Round of 32
  • Celtic drew the last leg away 1-1, so out of Europe 2-4 on aggregate
  • Simunovic has a nightmare, at fault for loss of the first goal, and after that conceded goal the side collapsed.
  • Celtic got its first VAR goal in its favour and first ever at Celtic Park (first ever VAR used at Celtic). Celtic won a penalty thru VAR.
  • A footballer for FC Copenhagen charged in connection with an incident. Video footage on social media appeared to show a police officer being knocked to the ground by Michael Santos as players from the Danish side celebrated a goal scored by Pep Biel. It was all on TV and highlighted, and likely will be punished.
  • Celtic punished by UEFA for a late kick-off in the Europa League. Hit with a fine of 15,000 euros (£13,300) for the kick-off in, and warned after breaching rules on "oversized manufacturer identification" during the same game.
  • Celtic have reportedly backed a proposal dubbed the "Copenhagen Access Model" to shake up the Champions League, which would require fewer matches to qualify for the competition's group stage.
  • Morelos mistranslation interview on Sky TV: Ofcom not pursuing the Sky Sports/Morelos translation interview complaint due it only being available online and not on their official channels. Waiting to see how Celtic proceed here.
  • Reports: Scouts from Everton were in attendance for Celtic's 3-1 victory over Kilmarnock, according. He said: "Celtic will probably have to sell one or two players in the summer. Edouard looks like he could be one. I was talking to one of the scouts from Everton who was here today. He's talking so highly of guys like McGregor and Edouard and they are attracting the attention of big clubs."
  • Celtic statement: Recent further reports by Channel 4 over historical abuse, Celtic release a statement, and respect to Celtic board for reiterating points. It’s a complex issue, not one for point scoring.
  • Michael Stewart: Michael Stewart is set to make a return to BBC Scotland programming. Ex-Hearts and Hibs midfielder had been suspended by the broadcaster for comments on Sevco & their PR Jabba The Hut.
  • Reports: Some in Celtic reportedly aren't overly impressed with new signing Patryk Klimala. The Polish striker was on the bench for the 3-1 win over Kilmarnock and has not featured since starting in the Scottish Cup against Clyde.
  • Reports: Celtic are working hard to strike a new deal with in-demand striker Odsonne Edouard before the summer transfer window.
  • Celtic could bid to sign highly-rated Gillingham defender Jack Tucker. The 20-year-old, valued at around £1.5 million,
  • Hearts & Huddersfield are keen on signing Craig Gordon when his Hoops contract runs out in the summer.
  • Coronavirus warnings increasing: People could be banned from gathering in large numbers to contain cornonavirus, Scotland's Chief Medical Officer has said.
  • Lisbon Lions European Cup winner's medal won by Celtic legend Stevie Chalmers could fetch £250k at auction. Whole load of medals & stuff from his collection is up for auction. He passed away a year ago.
  • Celtic could reignite their interest in Motherwell midfielder David Turnbull after he returned against St Mirren midweek.

ReviewCeltic 1 Copenhagen 3

Neil Lennon:“I’m hugely disappointed because we basically shot ourselves in the foot,control in the first half, I don’t remember Fraser Forster having much to do. We had all the flow, we hit the post and had crosses going across the goal. At half time we were really pleased with the way the game had gone."

flinchy of KDS

1. Simunovic is done
2. Ajer is a liability
3. Broony needs managed a lot better
4. Rogic needs more game time
5. Eddy needs to remove his head from his rear end
6. Forrest needs benched. Don't care who for.
7. Moi still isn't fit.
8. Lennon didn't change it quickly enough. Again.
9. We are still wasteful in front of goal.

A game of bad habits from us. Forrest not flinging himself at that one in the first half summed it up.

(MLE of KDS)
First half was pretty decent; it was good to see Rogic and Elyounoussi coming back into the kind of play they're capable of. Defence didn't look too ropey and had Edouard been able to find a bit more space (or control the ball at all) we may have been ahead. What a ball that was from Moi in behind to Forrest that he didn't swing his foot at by the way.

The second half was an abomination. They came out on top and didn't give us any chance to control the game because we let them. Broony was pointless, Rogic faded to obscurity and McGregor barely got near the ball. It was as if our game plan went out the window and we let them do anything they fancied.

Elyounoussi shouldn't have been taken off but Lennon thought the 3-5-2 would open them up more and it didn't make sense to take anyone else off with the players that would've been left on the field. The limitations of that tactic against a team who're able to pass and move above a rudimentary level came up though and the errors that lead to the first 2 goals are archetypal Celtic in Europe. (there's no point in discussing their 3rd)

Simunovic is a liability, Ajer isn't a right back (or switched on enough to be CB in that environment) and Taylor wasn't defensively present once the 3 at the back was green lit. Poor show from everyone.

Ultimately we'd have been lucky to get any further than the next round so it doesn't have a massive bearing on the season but that was the best chance we've had in 16 years to go through to that stage in Europe and how we lost that game highlights why there was such concern when the huns were closer to us in the league. We've got several mistakes in that backline (Jozo alone accounted for 6 alone by my count in that 2nd half) and if there's a player with quality who finds themselves benefiting from them we'll lose matches.

All guns blazing against St Johnstone on Sunday.

What is really concerning for me going forward.

That was like the 29th. A well organised hard working team.

Nobody in their team was particularly good or a stand out…they just all did their job.

We need to learn how to play these games better….

Brown when injured just can’t be in the team alongside a McGregor who still struggles when the going gets tough and a Forrest who has been so off it the last few months I think he needs a couple of weeks sitting on his arse on the bench.

Individual errors cost us last night.

Simonovic for the first clearly but collectively for the second goal I think 4 players were at fault?!

We are under pressure (which comes back to player 4)…and Jozo hoofs it into the middle of the park, inexplicably instead of flicking it on or even leaving it Rogic controls it for 2 Copenhagen players in the middle of the park.
Brown then has the chance just to take a booking and get us back in and regrouped ends up doing nothing…players get away from him because he’s clearly still carrying a knock.

Then where is Taylor? Posted missing sadly.

Shocking goal to lose at this level. Really frustrating

    Celtic 1-3 Copenhagen (2-4 agg): Second-half collapse at Parkhead sees Celtic out

    Lennon's men crash out of Europe amid defensive calamities

    Updated 10 hours ago
    Celtic were left to regret missed opportunities from seven days earlier as they slumped to a painful first defeat of the decade and crashed unceremoniously out of the Europa League.
    A last 32 tie which the Scottish champions should have had all sewn up had they taken their chances in Denmark last week was ripped from their grasp by a Copenhagen side who made the most of theirs at Celtic Park.
    On a night when Neil Lennon’s team never really got going, they fell behind early in the second half to a Michael Santos goal. They looked to have at least forced extra-time when Odsonne Edouard levelled from a VAR-awarded penalty but then capitulated in the closing stages as strikes from Pep Biel and Dame N’Doye took Copenhagen into Friday’s last 16 draw.
    Celtic may well go on to reaffirm their domestic dominance in Scotland over the next three months but for now, they are suffering the dismay of failing to join Old Firm rivals Rangers in the next phase of European competition.
    As he had hinted on the eve of the match, Lennon’s reshuffle of his side in the absence of the suspended Ryan Christie and injured Olivier Ntcham saw Tom Rogic handed his first European starting appearance of the campaign.
    A little more surprising, perhaps, was the inclusion of Mohamed Elyounoussi as the on-loan Southampton wide man continues to get back up to full speed following his recent lay-off.
    But the Norwegian international was eager to vindicate Lennon’s faith in him and was prominent in most of Celtic’s best moments in a first half which generally saw them struggle to find any sustained fluency.
    Elyounoussi’s first darting run of the evening off the left flank and into the Copenhagen penalty area in the ninth minute saw central defender Victor Nelsson alive to the danger as he made a smart block.
    Six minutes later, a terrific cross from Elyounoussi was only partially cleared by Pierre Bengtsson. When the ball dropped to Kristoffer Ajer, his shot was blocked by Guillermo Varela.
    It was scrappier than Celtic would have liked for lengthy spells and Ajer put himself under early pressure when he collected the first booking of the evening for a clumsy foul on Rasmus Falk.
    Elyounoussi continued to catch the eye and he should have put Celtic ahead in the 22nd minute. Another fine run into the penalty area caused confusion in the Copenhagen defence as he looked to link up with James Forrest. A weak attempted clearance from Bengtsson saw the ball break invitingly back into the path of Elyounoussi but he blazed over with the goal at his mercy.
    Copenhagen enjoyed periods of decent possession and carried menace on the counter attack. It needed an alert interception from Jozo Simunovic to deny Pep Biel a shooting chance inside the penalty area after slack play in midfield from the hosts.
    The visitors were fortunate to survive a scramble of almost comical proportions inside their six yard box in the 31st minute. Greg Taylor’s cross saw Copenhagen goalkeeper Karl-Johan Johnsson make a fine save to spare Nelson from an own goal before Rogic’s effort from the rebound struck a post.
    Celtic were finally building up a head of attacking steam as the interval approached and Edouard was unlucky to see his shot on the turn from Callum McGregor’s cross deflected wide off Nelsson.
    Copenhagen were forced into a chance a minute before half-time when the pacy Mikkel Kaufmann limped off to be replaced by Santos.
    The visitors’ goal enjoyed two lucky escapes in first half stoppage time, first of all when Elyounoussi failed to force the ball home from a tight angle after Johnsson had flapped at a deflected shot from Edouard, then when the French striker was unable to get enough power on a close range header which the ‘keeper comfortably saved.
    Celtic were left to rue those missed opportunities when Copenhagen stunned the home support by taking the lead six minutes into the second half.
    The goal was a calamity for Simunovic who was woefully slack and short with an attempted pass back to goalkeeper Fraser Forster. The loose ball was pounced upon by Santos who surged into the penalty area from the right. He tried to pick out strike partner Dame N’Doye with a low cross but when the ball broke back to him off Christopher Jullien, he displayed good awareness to loft a shot over Forster into the roof of the net from around 10 yards.
    Celtic were rattled by the setback and increasingly ragged for a period after it when Copenhagen appeared capable of increasing their advantage.
    Lennon switched to three at the back in a bid to regain the initiative but Copenhagen continued to look assured. The Celtic boss made his first substitution of the night with 20 minutes remaining, the tiring Elyounoussi making way for Leigh Griffiths.
    The striker was given a rousing reception from the home support as he joined Edouard up front and he almost made an immediate impact, sniffing out a chance amid a frantic goalmouth scramble and seeing his shot brilliantly saved by Johnsson.
    Celtic were running out of both ideas and time but were thrown a lifeline by Copenhagen defender Ragnar Sigurdsson whose handball as he blocked an Edouard cross saw VAR invoked and a penalty awarded with seven minutes remaining.
    Edouard was coolness personified as he dinked the spot kick beyond Johnsson to relight the atmosphere inside Celtic Park once more.
    But it was almost instantly doused when Copenhagen regained the lead just two minutes later. More loose play from Celtic allowed Rasmus Falk to set Pep Biel free in the box and he slotted a low shot under the advancing Forster.
    Crestfallen Celtic now needed to score twice to win the tie but they were put out of their misery when Copenhagen added a third of their own in the 88th minute, N’Doye waltzing through the middle to beat Forster with ease.

    BBC

    By Tom English

    BBC Scotland at Celtic Park

    From the section Europa League
    Celtic suffered a shock Europa League last-32 exit after three goals in the final seven minutes of a dramatic – and self-inflicted – defeat by Copenhagen.

    Neil Lennon's side seemed set for extra time when Odsonne Edouard coolly dinked in a penalty – awarded for handball after a VAR check – to cancel out Michael Santos' calamitous opener.

    But the Danish champions netted twice on the break in the final five minutes – through Pep Biel and Dame N'Doye – to earn a 4-2 aggregate win and mete out Celtic's first defeat in 2020.

    It was a bitterly disappointing night for the Scottish Premiership leaders, who were favourites after a 1-1 draw a week ago, but were architects of their own downfall at Celtic Park.

    And it means Rangers will be Scotland's sole representatives in the next round, with the draw taking place from 12:00 GMT in Nyon on Friday.

    Podcast: 'Calamitous, catastrophic & shocking'

    'Dumped out with almighty thud'

    Before the deluge of Celtic errors and Copenhagen goals, the home team had an intensity about them, a tempo in the early minutes that forced the Danes on to the back foot.

    It took them 15 minutes to start turning that pressure into chances, but when they did the opportunities flowed. How they were left to rue their wastefulness.

    Firstly, James Forrest might have scored had he shown a little more belief at the back post after Mohamed Elyounoussi had swung in a terrific cross. Then, Elyounoussi, after starting the move by ransacking the visitors in his own half, fired over when he should have, at the very least, tested Karl-Johan Johnsson in the Copenhagen goal.

    Celtic were slick and menacing. A third moment came and went when Tom Rogic almost scored, the ball bouncing off him in the box and hitting Johnsson's right-hand post. Edouard had a shot deflected just wide and before the half was up the striker had another effort, a header from point-blank range following a delicious cross from Rogic.

    You'd have bet your life on him putting it away, but instead he put it straight at Johnsson. Celtic Park held its head in its hands in angst.

    Still, as tidy as Copenhagen looked when trying to counter attack, they hadn't threatened. Fraser Forster hadn't a save to make in the opening half. The missed chances would have frustrated them but the lack of menace from the visitors would have enthused Celtic all the same. A false sense of security as it turned out.
    Graphic

    Early in the new half, everything changed. It turned out the that greatest threat to Celtic was Celtic themselves – or Jozo Simunovic to be exact. The big defender was guilty of calamitous defending, failing to deal with a routine ball and allowing Santos in to steal it away from him and go in on goal from the right.

    Santos, an early substitute, had his pass cut out by a retreating Christopher Jullien, but the loose ball broke back to him and he clipped other Forster to render Celtic Park speechless beyond the euphoria coming from the visiting support.

    A relatively comfortable night had suddenly become a crisis. Celtic needed a goal, for extra time, or they were going out. Rogic snapped a low shot wide, a cue for Neil Lennon to send for Leigh Griffiths and go with two up front.

    Within two minutes, Griffiths had a magnificent chance after sustained pressure, his shot from on the edge of the six-yard box tipped away by a prone Johnsson, a reflex save that was both stunning and savagely hard to take for the home support.

    The stress was tangible now, but it lifted when Sigurdsson was done for handball by VAR and Edouard clipped the coolest penalty past Johnsson. The class and impudence of the striker sent Celtic Park into raptures.

    With eight minutes left, the impetus was with Celtic. The relief evaporated quickly. More awful decision-making did for them again with Copenhagen's second, Jullien and then Rogic getting their side into trouble in the first instance. The visitors countered and it was devastating, Biel put through on Forster and finishing brilliantly.

    That as good as put Celtic out, but any prospect of a miraculous endgame was snuffed out with a third goal.

    Again, Celtic were did themselves grievous damage. Kristoffer Ajer this time making a poor clearance before N'Doye went straight to score the goal that humbled the Scottish champions and dumped them out of Europe with an almighty thud.
    Man of the match – Pep Biel
    Pep Biel's goal with five minutes left effectively killed the tie
    Clever and influential in the second half, the Spanish midfielder caused Celtic problems with his hustling and harrying and rounded it off with that decisive second goal. The real killer
    Match stats

    Celtic are winless in their last five European games against Danish opponents (D2 L3)
    Copenhagen scored three times away from home in a European game (excl. qualifiers) for the first time since December 2009 (3-0 v Sparta Prague)
    Celtic made it three European games without a win (D1 L2), after winning six of the seven before that, including qualifiers (D1)
    Edouard has been directly involved in five Europa League goals this season (3 goals and 2 assists), more than any other Celtic player
    Copenhagen scored with all three of their shots on target – all coming in the second half.

    What does this mean for the coefficient?

    Had Celtic gone through, two Scottish sides would have been guaranteed places in the Champions League qualifiers the season after next.

    However, Copenhagen's win means Denmark replace Scotland in 13th place in the rankings – with the top 15 nations gaining two places in Europe's premier club competition.

    Only Greece and Switzerland can prevent Scotland finishing 14th, and both Olympiakos and Basel would have to reach the business end of the Europa League to do that.

    And, of course, should Rangers fare better than Copenhagen in the last 16, Scotland may well edge above Denmark again.
