Celtic 1-3 Copenhagen (2-4 agg): Scottish champions out of Europa League

Published on: 27 February 2020

Michael Santos' second-half strike gave Copenhagen the lead

Celtic crashed out of the Europa League at the last-32 stage after suffering a dramatic defeat against FC Copenhagen.

Neil Lennon's side looked to have forced extra time when Odsonne Edouard dinked in a penalty - awarded after a VAR check - with seven minutes left to cancel out Michael Santos' opener.

But the Danish champions netted twice on the break in the final five minutes - through Pep Biel and Dame N'Doye - to earn a 4-2 aggregate win.

It was Celtic's first defeat in 2020.

And it means Rangers will be Scotland's sole representatives in the next round, with the draw taking place from 12:00 GMT in Nyon on Friday.
