CELTIC 2 LAZIO 1: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

0

CELTIC are the first Scottish club to win against an Italian side in European competition since October 2007 when the Hoops overcame AC Milan in the Champions League when Scott McDonald scored a famous last-minute winner.

* LAZIO have lost six of their last seven Europa League games, with the only exception, a 2-1 victory against Rennes.

* CELTIC, with two wins and a draw, have avoided defeat in their opening three games of a Europa League campaign for the first time since 2014/15, progressing through to the knock-out stages that season.

* LAZIO have conceded in each of their last 13 games in European competition, their longest-ever run without a clean sheet in Europe.

* MANUEL LAZARRI’S goal was his first in 47 games in all competitions, since netting for SPAL in Serie A in March 2018.

* RYAN CHRISTIE is the first Celtic player to both score and assist in a European game – excluding qualifiers – since Paul McGowan against Rapid Vienna in December 2009.

* CELTIC will meet Lazio in Rome on November 7 in the next game.

* EVERYONE A HERO AS JULLIEN IS LAST-GASP WINNER
