CELTIC’S Europa League hopes are in tatters following their 2-0 loss to Spanish aces Valencia at Parkhead last night.
A two-goal salvo from the Spaniards just before and after the interval proved an insurmountable task for Brendan Rodgers’ men on a disappointing evening.
Now they have to go again in the Mestalla on Thursday and hope they can provide the miracle that will open the door to the competition’s last-16. We live in hope.
