📸 Celtic endure nightmare first half against Sturm Graz in Europa League | OneFootball

As first halves go, things couldn’t have gone much worse for Celtic.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are still searching for their first Europa League win of the season as they host Austrian outfit Sturm Graz at Celtic Park.

But with just four minutes on the clock, the hosts were forced into an early change as Kelechi Iheanacho limped off to be replaced by Johnny Kenny.

Ten minutes later, the visitors took the lead when Tomi Horvat unleashed a thunderous effort from distance to put Sturm Graz in front.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, Rodgers was dealt another blow before the half-hour mark as Alistair Johnston made way for teenager Colby Donovan.

Two injuries and a goal down, Celtic have it all to do after the break.

Can they mount a comeback, or will their woes deepen in the second half?
