Harald Brattbakk in brutal Celtic Conference League stance as he delivers Bodo Glimt 'better individuals' verdict

Brutally honest Harald Brattbakk believes Bodo/Glimt outclassed Celtic - but didn't rule out a Europa Conference League fightback.

"I also think when you look at the team, player by player, I think Bodo were better as well because they had some good individuals as well.

With Celtic trailing 2-0, Daizen Maeda pulled one back 11 minutes from time to offer a lifeline ahead of the trip to the Arctic Circle.

But Hugo Vetlesen's deflected effort put the deficit back at two going into the second leg.
