"An own goal from Liam Scales after six minutes set the tone for the Scottish Premiership side, with Evan Ferguson also scoring a brace as Roma wrapped up an emphatic win before the half-time whistle at Celtic Park. Roma took the lead from a set-piece as Matias Soule's corner was attacked by Gianluca Mancini, but Scales inadvertently headed the cross into his own net when looking to challenge the Italian defender."
"The 21-year-old slotted home with a first-time finish from Zeki Celik's cross from the right before showing great strength and composure to control a pass from Soule and find the far corner to make it 3-0 in first-half stoppage time. However, Celtic had a golden opportunity to pull a goal back before the break when Mario Hermoso fouled Arne Engels in the box, but the Belgian's spot-kick was tipped onto the post by Mile Svilar to add to their misery."
Celtic lost 3-0 at Celtic Park to Roma in the Europa League, extending a losing start under Wilfried Nancy. An own goal by Liam Scales after six minutes gave Roma an early lead from a Matias Soule corner that was attacked by Gianluca Mancini. Evan Ferguson scored twice, first converting Zeki Celik's cross and then controlling a Soule pass to slot into the far corner in first-half stoppage time. Celtic missed a penalty when Mile Svilar tipped Arne Engels' spot-kick onto the post. In the second half Kelechi Iheanacho and Leon Bailey had goals ruled out by VAR for offside. Roma produced 1.52 xG from 12 shots to Celtic's 1.33 from nine, and became the second side to beat both Celtic and Rangers following a win over Rangers on November 6.
