CELTIC manager Ange Postecoglou claimed it was always going to be difficult for his side to make a Champions League impact after a home draw with Shakhtar Donetsk consigned them to a bottom-place finish.
The Scottish champions needed to win to keep alive their hopes of entering the Europa League knockout stages and Giorgos Giakoumakis swept them into the lead 38 minutes into a tight first half.
However, Mykhailo Mudryk was a constant danger and the 21-year-old Ukraine international netted a brilliant counter-attack goal just before the hour mark.
