Celtic 0 – 0 k Almaty

Celtic has a lot of work to do to reach the phase of the Champions League League after shooting a blank in a 0-0 draw in the first leg of his match against Kairat Almaty in Parkhead.

With the influence of Satpayev, Kairat attacked in a fluid way and at a rate on the counter, attenuating the atmosphere of support at home.

In the 32nd minute, the Celtic defender Alastair Johnston stopped with what looked like an injury to the hamstrings while he was going up and was removed from the ground on a stretcher, replaced by Anthony Ralston.

A few moments later, Kairat's goalkeeper Alexandr Zarutskiy saved Maeda when Celtic finally succeeded, but at the other end of the powerful Driving of Ofri Arad stole right next to the Schmeichel post.

In a minute after the end of Yang, he installed James Forrest, whose shot was hit on a post, then gathered by Zarutskiy.

In the 58th minute, after negligence of Carter-Vickers in the defense of the hoops, the Brazilian striker Edmilson tried a speculative shot of 40 meters and he landed on the roof of the goal of Schmeichel.

In the time to stop, Maeda de Celtic pushed a chance when he crossed alone and could only manage a tamed shot which was easily saved, and there were hoots at the end of furious supporters.
