It was a tough return to the Champions League for Celtic as they were dominated by the Dutch champions in Rotterdam.
NINE-man Celtic slumped to a 2-0 defeat to Dutch champions Feyenoord in Rotterdam on the opening night of the Champions League on Tuesday.
But right on the stroke of half-time came the hammer blow. O’Riley conceded a free kick 30 yards from goal and Stengs was given far too big a gap to aim at as he stepped up to send the ball over the wall and into the net at Joe Hart’s left hand side. If the Englishman had fingers pointed at him for his part in that goal, then he came to the rescue in the second half.
However, there was no way they could hold out and substitute Jahanbakhsh slammed home a second after Alistair Johnston did well to head a cross off the line but straight into the Iranian’s path. Here’s five talking points from De Kuip: Missed opportunity Celtic had more than held their own and looked comfortable up until the blow of losing that goal right on half-time - and it all went horribly wrong after that. This is a Feyenoord side that had blasted 17 goals in their previous three games yet weren’t really troubling the Hoops defence who were coping well.
