Borussia Monchengladbach leave Celtic's hopes in tatters

Celtic 0 Borussia Monchengladbach 2: Celtic’s Champions League aspirations were blown apart by Borussia Monchengladbach who were more than worth their 2-0 win at Parkhead.

The Hoops went into the game buoyed by their 3-3 draw with Manchester City on match day two last month. However, keeper Craig Gordon had to make several crucial saves in a first half largely controlled by the slick-moving Bundesliga outfit who picked up their first points in Group C.

Captain Lars Stindl got the breakthrough in the 57th minute and then Andre Hahn made it 2-0 on the break in the 77th minute - both times Celtic defender Kolo Toure was found wanting - to leave Brendan Rodgers’ side with one point from a possible nine, ahead of the return fixture in Germany in two weeks’ time.
