Bitton reacts to well-earned point on social media

On the night, it could have been three points, but prior to the game anyone would have taken a point at the Amsterdam ArenA.

A 2-2 draw with Ajax to kick off the Europa League campaign is a massive boost to the team’s aspirations this season in Europe.

Nir Bitton opened the scoring after eight minutes with a fine finish after some neat footwork by Kris Commons and perfectly timed through ball to the Israeli.

Following another goal and great performance, the 23-year-old reacted on Instagram after the game and on the team performance.

Victor Fischer scored a fantastic equaliser after some good play on the wing from Younes and a clever flick by Klaassen allowed Fischer to stroke the ball into the bottom corner.

But Lustig added a second just before half-time from a Kris Commons corner kick. Although Izaguirre was sent off, Celtic held on for a draw after late free-kick from Schone gave Ajax a scrappy point at home.

For Celtic, it was a well-earned point with a solid team performance on the night. Their next group game is against Fenerbahce at Celtic Park in October. The Turkish side were also in action last night and lost 3-1 at home to Molde.

Celtic’s next game is against Dundee on Sunday at Paradise.
