THE congested fixture list which Ange Postecoglou had bemoaned before the Champions League rematch with RB Leipzig at Parkhead last night may not be an issue for Celtic after the World Cup finals.
Their cruel home defeat last night dealt a fatal blow to their hopes of finishing in the top two in Group F and going through to the last 16 – and significantly reduced their chances of even coming third in their section and dropping into the Europa League knockout rounds.

But once again they failed to capitalise on the numerous scoring opportunities which they created up front. They have now netted just twice in four matches and have only a point to show for their efforts.
