Brendan Rodgers laments lack of courage as Celtic crash out

Brendan Rodgers claimed Celtic needed more courage against Zenit St Petersburg after the Hoops crashed out of the Europa League following their 3-1 aggregate defeat in Russia.

The one-goal lead from the first leg of the last-32 clash was wiped out before half an hour had been played as defender Branislav Ivanovic put Zenit in front with a header.

Daler Kuzyayev fired in a long-range drive in the 27th minute to turn the tie in the hosts’ favour.
