Well first of all , i got it wrong , i couldn't see Braga scoring anymore than 2 vs Celtic , i even took a scoring draw (1-1) but the reality is that Neil Lennon's Celtic never turned up last night as Sporting Braga totally dominated the SPL runners up.
After a slow start by both team it all started to go wrong when Braga were given a penalty when ki handled the ball in the box , Lennon complained furiously both at the time and at half time but it made no difference as Alan side footed his effort into the top corner on 25 minutes. At half time Celtic were still in the game but didn't have a real effort on goal
The heat in the stadium rescinded a bit in the 2nd half , only for the on field action to heat up , still Celtic were not posing much of a threat as Lennon's 4-2-3-1 was holding Braga but offensively there was nothing , Murphy made his debut by coming on for the in-effective Maloney , 5 mins later though this game was over as Elderson pounced on poor marking at a corner to make it 2-0.
Mexican Efrain Juarez was the replaced by James Forrest as Celtic tried to rescue an away goal , worse was to happen as 2 mins from time an excellent 35 year free kick from Matheus made it a night not to remember for Neil Lennon's 1st official game in charge.
At 3-0 the tie looks dead , i just cant see Celtic score 3 without reply at Parkhead , Braga were decent but Celtic were terrible , poor poor night for the fans and for Scottish football.
