Celtic's goal was conceded from a free kick into the box where Brown lost the first header, Forrest won the 2nd ball but McGregor couldn't block the shot and it went in from Jullien.
Celtic lined up with;
- Bain
- Frimpong, Jullien, Ajer and Taylor
- McGregor and Brown
- Forrest, Christie and Elyounoussi
- Edouard
Probably our first choice 11 although Griffiths (out injured) may contest. Although Barkas had just been signed as first choice and was on the bench.
Elhamed, Ntcham, Klimala and Dembele all came on as subs.
Fans view - A Taylor assist ???
15 shots on target and 81% possession were key positive notes from the game.
