:shamrock: Celtic 1-0 Benfica:shamrock:

Celtic triumphed over Portuguese Giants Benfica by the score of 1-0. The first half started with both sides getting more than their share of chances. Then in the dying seconds of the first half the Irish international Aiden McGeady hit an amazing strike that hit a Benfica player before rolling into the back netting. A well deserved goal for McGeady who was all over the pitch on this November night. The second half showed Celtic were truly the better team and besides a few Benfica chances, Celtic dominated it. The game concluded with a horrific tackle on Celtic's Scott Brown that resulted in a red card being shown to Benfica's Binya. Scott Brown was later replaced by Sno. After four nervous minutes in injury time Celtic celebrated their 1-0 win and their 6 points in Champions League group play.

Scott McDonald tallied twice in a two minute span to put Celtic up 2-0 a few minutes after the half hour mark. In the 54th minute Kilmarnock's Frazer Wright got a goal to make it 2-1 on a ball that was not judged by Boruc correctly. Celtic had several chances in the 2nd half to extend their lead, most notably misses by Jarosik and McGeady.

Celtic lost their match today in what was a very half-hearted effort by the entire team. Bad passing, bad turnovers marked this game as well as inconsistent refereeing. Celtic lacked players stepping up to win the game. Celtic captain Stephen McManus left in the 45th minute after getting assaulted in midair by Ranger's player Cousin.

  • Boruc [YELLOW CARD]
  • O'Dea [YELLOW CARD]
