Astra 1-1 Celtic
6pm, 6th November 2014
Uefa Europa League
Group Stage Matchday 4​

Celtic were held to a 1-1 draw tonight under a cloud of heavy mist in Romania. An impressive first half performance by Celtic turned to a sluggish 2nd half showing, resulting in a disappointing point for Deila's men. ​

Stefan Johansen and Charlie Mulgrew controlled the midfield area well in the early stages of the game. However, with hitman Guidetti missing at the spearhead of the attack, Celtic's play in the final third was fairly unproductive. Scepovic was rarely involved in play and was subsequently replaced by Griffiths later in the game.
Later in the first half, Gordon was called upon to make a good save in a one on one situation. ​

Johansen then won a free kick 5 yards from the opposition area. Mulgrew's strike hit the wall and was then cleared, but only to Johansen. The Norwegian's deflected strike flew into the top left and...​

In Feyenoord you proved your qualities as a good penalty...​

9 in 9 for 9

Celtic 1-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistle
Scottish Premiership, Celtic Park,
K.O. 3pm, 1/11/14


John Guidetti's record at Celtic now stands at 9 goals in 9 games. Celtic's new on-loan no.9 scored yet again to seal the 3 points for The Bhoys at Celtic Park against a well drilled and dangerous Inverness Caledonain Thistle.

The first half started off in lively fashion for The Bhoys, with Guidetti, Stokes and Johansen linking up well early on to cause problems for the Caley defence. Twenty two minutes into the half, Lustig created Celtic’s best opportunity thus far. An out-swinging cross from the right hand side of the box was just too high for Guidetti, with Stokes unable to react in time behind the Swede. The ball trickled away harmlessly for an Inverness goal kick.

5 minutes later, Van Dijk threatened Brill in the Inverness goal with a thumping effort from 35 yards, but the...​
