The frustration of another brave but bruising Champions League defeat was written all over Callum McGregor ’s face as he left the Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday night.

For 82 minutes, Celtic gave as good as they got against a Lazio side that have ambitions of going deep into the competition.

Just as they had against the Italians in Glasgow. Just like they did against La Liga giants Atletico Madrid at home too. In fact one mad night in Madrid has been the only time Brendan Rodgers side have been turned over in Group E.

But for all their efforts just one point has been secured from five games and the journey is over before it even reached its final stop.
