Celtic will be looking to get off the mark in the Champions League group stages when they come up against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Ange Postecoglou stuck to his word on matchday one and attacked Real Madrid as his side earned praise from the home support at full-time for their efforts. Los Blancos eventually ran out 3-0 winners but Callum McGrego r struck the post at 0-0 with Liel Abada and Daizen Maeda also missing big chances with the score level. The visitors upped the ante in the second period with Vinicius JR, Luka Mordic and Eden Hazard all on target at Parkhead.
It was a night to remember for Shakhtar as they romped to a 4-1 away day success in Germany against RB Leipzig. Former Celtic flop Marian Shved - who was on target at the weekend to spark a domestic comeback - struck twice for his new club as they picked up three points in the opening game, and can put themselves in a commanding position with a repeat this midweek.
