| Pre-match build up |
CELTIC 1 AJAX 2
Scorers: McGregor; Milik, Cerny
Another disappointing experience in Europe for Celtic as a young hoops side was narrowly beaten by Ajax. It was far from the vintage of 1982, 2001 or even 2013 when the sides went head to head in previous European campaigns. This was the fifth time the clubs had faced each other in UEFA competition but the first meeting in the UEFA Europa League. The match lacked a bit of quality compared to the great matches of the past and it was more like a B-match however it was still an exciting encounter as both sides went all out for the first win in the group.
Ajax fans packed out the away end and created a great noise throughout the match.
