- Celtic conceded a quick double to Celta Vigo after leading through Mika Baur’s 47th-minute strike, suffering their third straight Europa League defeat.
- Javi Rodriguez scored both goals for Celta Vigo, heading in a 68th-minute free-kick before firing a 20-yard strike four minutes later to complete the comeback.
- Haissem Hassan assisted Celtic’s opener with a deflected cross that fell to Mika Baur, who finished decisively to put the hosts ahead.
- Liam Scales hit the crossbar in the 63rd minute with a header from Hassan’s cross, missing a chance to extend Celtic’s lead before the collapse.
- Callum Osmond had a penalty appeal denied in the first half after being pushed by Javi Rueda just outside the box, a decision met with strong protests from Camilo Duran, who was booked.
Why it matters: Celtic’s inability to convert domestic dominance into European results is now stark: three losses from three games with defensive fragility exposed late, putting their campaign at serious risk before the group stage midpoint.
