SEASON 2025/26
Group Stage
Venue: CELTIC PARK
CELTIC 0 SPORTING BRAGA 2
Matchday 2 in the UEFA Europa League as Celtic hosted Portuguese outfit, Sporting Club Braga to give them their full title. The deadlock was broken midway through the first half by a long range effort which seemed to decieve goalkeeper Schmeichel.
In the second half Celtic had an equalising goal controversially dissallowed which the Video Assistant Referee could have asked the match referee to review but this didn't happen.
Late in the game Braga sealed victory with a scappy goal and Celtic were unable to muster a reply.
Personal note:
- 2nd time attending this fixture both in UEFA competition at Celtic Park
- Overall the 3rd time seeing SC Braga all in UEFA competitions
- Over the years I've seen six clubs from Portugal in European competitions
- This was my 10th tie I've seen at Celtic Park between Celtic and Portuguese clubs
