Celtic showed resilience in their 1-1 draw against Club Brugge, though it wasn’t the result they hoped for. After falling behind due to an own goal from Cameron Carter-Vickers, Celtic fought back, earning a point they didn’t initially deserve. The own goal occurred when Carter-Vickers made a costly pass back to goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, unaware that Schmeichel had moved. Brugge then had a goal ruled out by VAR, but Celtic couldn’t rely on that.
Despite the setback, Celtic managed to equalize in the second half thanks to Daizen Maeda’s clever play. The match was a struggle, with Celtic looking sluggish and Brugge pressing hard. A costly miss from Brugge’s Andreas Skov Olsen and a strong save from Schmeichel kept Celtic alive. In the end, it was a hard-fought draw, with Celtic unable to capitalize on the home advantage as they had hoped.
The game was marked by moments of tension, with the crowd getting anxious as Celtic failed to find their usual energy. A nostalgic touch came from former player Dedryck Boyata, who drew the winning ticket for the half-time raffle, although it was the €15,000 prize, not the result on the pitch, that was the biggest gift of the night.
