Martin O'Neill Blown Away by 'Magnificent' Celtic Player After Europa League Draw in Italy

Celtic secured a vital point despite playing with ten men after Reo Hatate's red card, keeping their Europa League qualification hopes alive with eight points.

  • In Bologna, Celtic were held to a 2-2 draw after ten men surrendered a two-goal half-time lead, securing momentum ahead of their final group game next week.
  • Reo Hatate opened the scoring inside six minutes after a Bologna goalkeeper error but collected two yellow cards in three minutes, resulting in a red card and leaving Celtic a player down.
  • Bologna's sustained pressure paid off in the second half with Thijs Dallinga's 58th-minute header from Jens Odgaard's flicked cross and Jonathan Rowe's 72nd-minute strike past Kasper Schmeichel, as Bologna registered 37 attempts.
  • A win would clinch Celtic's place in the playoff round, and victory over Utrecht at Celtic Park next Thursday would move them to 11 points, Martin O'Neill said.
  • Daizen Maeda both created the opener and later shifted roles on the pitch, playing as a supplementary wing-back after briefly dealing with a contact-lens issue.
