Celtic Battle Back To Draw With Rennes In Europa League
Celtic’s Scottish midfielder Ryan Christie scores a penalty kick during the UEFA Europa League Group E football match between Rennes and Celtic Glasgow at the Roazhon Park stadium in Rennes on September 19, 2019. Sebastien SALOM-GOMIS / AFPRyan Christie scored a second-half penalty as Celtic kicked off their Europa League group-stage campaign with a battling 1-1 draw away to French Cup holders Rennes in a heated encounter on Thursday.
Neil Lennon’s team were eager to show that they could compete with top-level opposition in Europe after their disappointing exit from the Champions League in the third qualifying round. Mohamed Elyounoussi, the Norwegian winger on loan from Southampton, was inches away from connecting with a low ball across the face of the Rennes goal 20 minutes in but the home side soon began to threaten.
Celtic came back after the interval though and won a penalty of their own when James Forrest was fouled by Damien Da Silva, and Christie made no mistake.
