Celtic out of Europa League
Celtic out of Europa League
A much-changed and youthful Celtic ended their Europa League group campaign on a high with
a dramatic home victory over Spain’s Real Betis at Celtic Park.
Already bound for the Conference League in February, manager Ange Postecoglou changed his entire starting team
but they took an early lead through Stephen Welsh’s header.
Crucially the Japanese forward was himself forced off after the break, while Nir Bitton and Osaze Urhoghide both
managed to stay on despite clashing heads.
Celtic will now face one of eight second-place sides in the Conference League for the chance to play in the last 16 of Uefa’s
new third tier club competition, with Bayer Leverkusen and Betis having already sealed the top two spots in Group G.
