Scales scores as Celtic storm back to beat Sturm Graz
Celtic overcame a red card to win their first Europa League match after two draws, with Liam Scales and Benjamin Nygren scoring within minutes of each other.
- This month, Celtic came from behind to beat 10-man Sturm Graz two-one in the Europa League, with Liam Scales and Benjamin Nygren scoring crucial goals.
- With one point from their opening two games, Celtic risked falling behind in the Europa League, while Sturm Graz arrived in good form after defeating Rangers earlier this month.
- Celtic suffered early injuries when striker Kelechi Iheanacho and full-back Alistair Johnston both pulled hamstrings, while Arne Engels had a header cleared off the line and Reo Hatate fired just over after the interval.
- This win might kick-start Celtic's campaign, although injuries loom ahead of Sunday’s visit to league leaders Hearts, limiting forward options.
- A long-range strike from Tomi Horvat had earlier put Graz ahead as Celtic created more chances than of late, but a lack of conviction nearly cost them.
