"To play 60-odd minutes with 10 men and to show the sort of character that is supposedly lacking in this team - I don't see it at all. The sending off changes the course of the game in many aspects and there's a long way to go, but the spirit of the side was terrific and the crowd helped us the whole way through."
"Reo Hatate put the Bhoys ahead after five minutes, but he was sent off after two quickfire bookings after the half-hour mark. In what was Celtic's 332nd match in major European competition, Hatate became the first player to both score and receive a red card in the same game for the Scottish side. Yet Celtic seemed to be on course for a memorable victory when Auston Trusty doubled their lead before the break."
Celtic drew 2-2 with Bologna after Reo Hatate scored early but was sent off following two quick bookings. Auston Trusty doubled Celtic's lead before half-time, but Bologna mounted a second-half comeback to claim a point. Bologna attempted 36 shots, the joint second-most in a Europa League game, while Kasper Schmeichel made seven saves to preserve the draw. Hatate became the first player to both score and receive a red card in Celtic's 332nd major European match. The result leaves Celtic 24th in the league phase heading into the final matchday, with a win still available.
