“We weren’t ruthless enough tonight but I’m delighted that we have an away goal to take back to Celtic Park next week,” Neil Lennon told Celtic TV after the 1-1 draw in Copenhagen this evening.
“It was a brilliant start and we could have been two or three up in the first half,” the Celtic manager said.
“We gave away a sloppy goal from our point of view. We gave away possession around our box and that happened far too often in the second half.

“We weren’t ruthless enough tonight and in the end we had to rely on Fraser to make the save from the penalty, but I’m delighted that we have an away goal to take back to Celtic Park next week.”
On the first competitive experience of VAR – and it was always going to against Celtic wasn’t it? Given the rules these days the penalty was always going to be awarded but the booking was an absolute joke and yet again Ryan Christie is the victim of poor refereeing decisions as he is now suspended for the second leg next Thursday.
“It’s a difficult one because it was headed into Ryan’s arm but an unnatural arm position meant the referee couldn’t really make any other decision,” was Neil Lennon’s take on it.
