Just as they made a dream start against Atletico Madrid, Celtic's joy was dampened when Reo Hatate was forced off with a suspected hamstring injury.

The Japanese midfielder looked distraught as he made his way from the pitch after just five minutes of Champions League action.

It took compatriot Kyogo less than four to fire Brendan Rodgers' side in front against the group favourites. He started then finish a lovely move involving a one-two with Matt O'Riley to lift the roof of Parkhead early on and let Atleti know they're in for a game.

But Hatate played no further part against the Spaniards. Amid the celebrations for the opener, he pointed to his hamstring which he appeared to overstretch when challenging for a bouncing ball.
