It was starting to look like this might be a familiar looking European away day for Celtic. Ciro Immobile looked like scoring everytime the ball went near him while Celtic’s attacks kept fizzling out at the vital moment.
So it was the perfect time for James Forrest to show exactly why he deserves his new song and contract.

In all honesty the defending from Lazio is fairly comical, but Forrest’s strike absolutely thunders into the far corner:
1-1!!!🍀

Any kind of positive result for Celtic tonight means they should be odds on to advance to the next round. This goal just before half time will hopefully kill Lazio’s spirit.
