Celtic crash out of the Champions League on away goals after conceding four times to CFR Cluj of Romania in a frantic game in Glasgow.
Celtic have crashed out of the Champions League on away goals after conceding four times to CFR Cluj of Romania in a frantic game in Glasgow.
Neil Lennon's side were 2-1 behind on aggregate at half-time thanks to Cirpian Deac's header, but seemed to have turned the tie around with goals from James Forrest and Odsonne Edouard. Billel Omrani's penalty gave Cluj the lead on away goals with 16 minutes left, and although Ryan Christie forced the hosts in front, Omrani and George Tucudean struck to seal Celtic's fate.
It means Celtic now drop into the Europa League play-off round, where they will play Sheriff Tiraspol or AIK, with the Swedes having won 2-1 in Moldova last week.
