“Mixed emotions for Celtic after letting a two-goal lead slip away. The conclusion is Neil lennon It looked like he had his Celtic team back tonight. Brave, brave, yes, mistakes are still being made, but Celtic can be proud of that performance tonight … Elyounoussi’s best game in a Celtic jersey, ”was the co-commentator’s immediate post-match verdict BT Sport’s Chris Sutton after Celtic were trapped 2-0 at halftime to share the spoils in a 2-2 draw with French Lille.
Mixed emotions for Celtic after blowing a two-goal lead. The bottom line is that Neil Lennon seemed to have got his Celtic team back tonight. Brave, brave, yes, mistakes are still made, but Celtic can be proud of that performance tonight … Elyounoussi’s best game in a Celtic jersey 🍀

Celtic were in dreamland at halftime with two wonderful goals from I Elyounoussi And the frustration for Hoops fans was that the Norwegian international striker had two similar chances to shoot in the second half and let them both pass.
Both teams put a lot into a match and both were on their feet in the final stages. Kris ajer He appeared to suffer a groin injury that was extended by a challenge early in the second half and will now be a big doubt for the Scottish Cup semi-final in Hampden on Sunday against Aberdeen. The 4-3-3 formation certainly looked better and Celtic stood out throughout the park.
Struck by perfection! 💫
That’s a hit from Celtic’s Mohamed Elyounoussi! 👏 pic.twitter.com/7Onvkzwy3t

Both fun-backs were wildly impressive with Frimpong finally finding a revealing final ball for a second assist from Celtic. Ajer continued his streak in decent form until injury: he was replaced by Nir Bitton, after his Covid disease. Scott bain he made some good saves and the highlight of his night was his penalty save just before half-time. It was a shocking decision by the referee to award a penalty as Duffy’s challenge was clearly out of the box. However, nothing difficult was done. Bain almost undone his good work by spilling a simple cross shortly after, but this time the crossbar came to Celtic’s rescue to save Bain’s blush.
Callum mcgregor He was the standout in the middle of the park and Ryan christie he has to raise his hands to let go of his man and allow Lille to return to the game from a set play. The tie was going but when it didn’t it was scary to say the least.
Odsonne Edouard He is back and we should see him more this weekend when Celtic will aim to get back on the winning track. Everything is at stake for Celtic in the Europa League again and if you had offered us a draw and a good performance before the game, we would have bitten you.
Man of the match – Yo Elyounoussi.
