Celtic Player Ratings: CFR Cluj (H)

On a night of European madness, Celtic crashed out of UEFA Champions League as Cluj progressed 5-4 on aggregate.

A poor start from the Hoops was confirmed when the Romanians grabbed an early opener with a header in off the post.

Frustrations were clear on the pitch and in the stands as Celtic struggled to get their passing going.

The second period saw an encouraging start as Kristoffer Ajer’s header was cleared off the line.

Celtic got themselves level soon after when Callum McGregor’s low cross was dummied brilliantly by Odsonne Edouard before James Forrest stayed calm to eventually find the top corner from just yards out.

A mix up in the box amongst the Cluj defenders the saw Edouard stroke the ball into the corner to put Celtic in front on the night, leading to bedlam inside Parkhead.

From a harmless Cluj corner, Dan Petrescu’s side were gifted a chance to equalise as Scott Brown handled the ball. Omrani stepped up to find the net.

Spirits weren’t damped for long as great play from Edouard inside the box gave Christie an open goal to put the Hoops back in front with 15 minutes to play.

Typically though, Cluj hit back as Bain parried a shot into the path of Omrani who once again got on the scoresheet.

As Celtic chased another goal, Tucudean took advantage to chip Bain and win it for the visitors.

Here’s how we rated the Celtic players on a bitterly disappointing evening.
