CELTIC  1  LAZIO  2

Scorers: Kyogo; Vecino, Pedro

The fixture that gives a last minute winner - every time .  Unfortunately this time it wasn't for Celtic as the Italians snatched a last gasp goal to take all three group points.

Celtic took an early lead with a lovely move however conceded a soft set piece goal which meant the sides were level at half time.

Personal note:

•  Only the 2nd time seeing Lazio
• The total number of times I've seen Celtic take on Italian opponents in Europe (UEFA competitions) is nine
• Total number of Champion League group stage matches attended is 65 (with 54 at Celtic Park)

A memorable night in Europe for Celtic as a last gasp header from Frenchman Christopher Jullien gives them victory over Italian's Lazio and sparks huge celebrations.

Despite a fine night for Fraser Forster Lazio took the lead in the second half but Ryan Christie scored to put the sides level before the fantastic ending to another huge European night under the lights of Celtic Park.
