Celtic's last 16 hopes dashed after 3-1 defeat to RB Leipzig

Celtic have a tough task on their hands to reach the Champions League knockout stages after a 3-1 defeat against RB Leipzig.

Christopher Nkunku opened the scoring from a 27th-minute counter-attack after Celtic lost the ball following a short corner. And while Celtic levelled things up through Jota, the German side just had too much class on the night.

The defeat leaves Celtic bottom of Group F with one point from three matches but they have both Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk to come at Parkhead in the next two games.
