Thijs Dallinga and a Jonathan Rowe scorcher at least got it back on track for 2-2, but this will feel like a wasted opportunity in the circumstances.

Key Highlights

  • After that incident, and also thanks to them being a man down, we managed to score two goals when we could’ve had four or five.“It’s just a pity that we keep gifting goals to our opponents.
  • Hopefully by this evening at the end of the other games, we’ll be sure of a place in the top 24 of the Europa League table.”Check the Football Italia Player Ratings for Bologna 2-2 CelticBologna had been forced into changes this evening, as Santiago Castro, Federico Bernardeschi and Jhon Lucumi were injured, Ciro Immobile, Remo Freuler, Lorenzo De Silvestri, new signings Simon Sohm and Eivind Helland cup-tied.

  • We won the ball back regularly, and apart from the opening 10 minutes, it was a decent performance.
  • I just have to reiterate, we can’t always start playing only after going a goal down.
  • I hope we can find a solution to this,” continued Italiano.
