Celtic

Celtic had the better chances on the field while off it, away fans in Warsaw unfurled anti-monarchy banners.

A pass inside former Legia right-back Juranovic gave left-winger Mudryk a clear run at goal and he fired high into the net. The visitors again started well and Jota’s curling effort was spilled seconds after the restart but Shakhtar cleared the danger. The winger fed Hatate’s forward run and the midfielder’s shot took a deflection off Artem Bondarenko and went in. Furuhashi could have tapped it home but chose to leave it only for it to be credited as an own goal. Greg Taylor’s driven cross was deflected beyond the Japan forward and O’Riley had an effort saved before Celtic took the lead in the 10th minute. There was no minute’s silence for the Queen following discussions between both clubs and Uefa, but both sets of players wore black armbands.

“Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be honoured this evening at Ibrox with a minute’s silence, a display created by the Union Bears, and a rendition of the Nation Anthem,” Rangers said in a statement posted on Twitter. One end of the stadium featured a mosaic of the Union Jack flag with a silhouette of the Queen’s head in the middle of the display. As for Rangers, they could be looking at punishment from the UEFA after ignoring their decision to reject their request to use the national anthem ahead of kick-off at Ibrox.

In Glasgow, Napoli made it back to back wins in the Champions League with a 3-0 defeat of Rangers. "What a goal. A Joao Mario penalty and a David Neres goal, either side of halftime, canceled out Arkadiusz Milik's early opener and consigned Juventus to their second straight defeat in the competition - the first time Juventus have lost their first two Champions League matches. It's nice Erling emulated Johan Cruyff," City coach Pep Guardiola, a former Barca player and coach, told reporters. Joao Cancelo sent in a cross from the left with the outside of his right foot and Haaland leapt high to redirect the ball - at shoulder height - into the net. Haaland's acrobatic volley with the outside of his left foot completed Manchester City's late comeback against Borussia Dortmund - the German club he left in the offseason - in a 2-1 home win in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Ange Postecoglou has sent a clear message after Celtic could manage only a draw in their game against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.

But it just was not to be on this evening, as they struggled to put the ball into the back of the net despite having several chances to do so. [Postecoglou](https://www.socceroos.com.au/profile/ange-postecoglou) has admitted to have been disappointed by the game against Real Madrid, but on this occasion, he cut a much calmer figure. Based on the performance and chances though, Ange Postecoglou’s side should have easily scored three or four goals.

Champions League football returned on Wednesday after the Premier League fixtures were cancelled over the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

A lot of them like to pretend that they are Irish.” Celtic fans have caused outrage after holding signs saying “f*** the Crown” at their Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk. Another user, @rook_reyne, noted: “It’s the Green Brigade what do you expect? Only Rangers supporters were in attendance for their match against Napoli which was moved from Tuesday to Wednesday due to policing resources surrounding the Queen’s death, with no away fans being permitted at the match in Naples in return for sporting integrity. However, the Celtic match featured no minutes silence in Poland, and in the early stages of the game, a banner in the Celtic end was unfurled that read “F*** the Crown”. “Among their foul abuse, they held up a banner praising the intruder who entered Her Majesty's bedroom at Buckingham Palace.”

The outspoken pundit was less than impressed with the Hoops legions who travelled to Warsaw but says the Parkhead club shouldn't be held accountable.

[UEFA](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/uefa) under the same auspices as Rangers may well be. "There was just a group of fans who think it's clever to be disrespectful. "But the problem is this, I don't like clubs being sanctioned for the actions of individuals. I suspect they go through their whole lives being disrespectful to most things. "They were given placards to form the Union Jack and there was a drum roll to signal the national anthem. "I know there's times when I say things that perhaps are a little bit strong and full of hyperbole but I ask questions about this.

Shakhtar Donetsk defender Valeriy Bondar reckons Celtic are a better side than RB Leipzig. Champions League Group F looks set to develop into a three-way ...

We did everything to win and to please our fans. [Ange Postecoglou](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/ange-postecoglou) 's side have returned to Glasgow following a 1-1 draw with the Ukrainians on a night the Scottish Premiership champions will feel they should've taken all three. And 23-year-old Bondar revealed manager Igor Jovicevic told his players Celtic were a tougher proposition than the Bundesliga cracks - a prediction the centre-back reckons proved spot on.

Shakhtar Donetsk manager, Igor Jovicevic, had some high praise for Celtic after the two sides drew 1-1 in the Champions League.

“They are very experienced and a very strong team. Of course, Shakhtar Donetsk cannot be counted out either, with 4 points in the bag. The Hoops were the much better team vs Shakhtar Donetsk in Warsaw and should have scored at least 3-4 goals with the amount of and quality of chances that they had in the game. Even the goal that they scored came from a Shakhtar Donetsk player deflecting the ball into the back of his own net. “If you look at how they played against Real Madrid, yes Real Madrid won 3-0 but in the first 60 minutes Celtic actually dominated. Normally, a 1-1 draw away from home in the Champions League would be considered as a positive result for Celtic.

The Rangers supporters, a group of lads called the Union Bears, put on a Union Jack, honestly.” The Uefa disciplinary bodies will decide on the matter in due course.” Celtic fans also unfurled another banner that said “Sorry for your loss Michael Fagan”, a reference to the intruder who broke into the Queen’s Buckingham Palace bedroom in 1982.

It was inevitable that the focus fell on Celtic's inefficiency in front of goal following their 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Dontesk.

Unquestionably, Celtic’s ability to impose themselves on Madrid for 50 minutes and do so, essentially, for a full 70 minutes against Shakhtar has been crucial to appearing more assured at the back, overall. In Celtic’s 4-0 home loss to Bayer Leverkusen the comparable figures were 11 and 18, with the tallies in the 3-2 defeat away to the Germans seven and 16. And even when defeating the same club 3-2 at Parkhead, the respective figures were seven and 19. In sharp contrast to the five constructed by Shakhtar. The draw against Dontesk was the eighth European away game in which Postecoglou has helmed the Glasgow club. But the ability of Ange Postecoglou’s men to restrict opportunities for their Ukrainian opponents ultimately could be of greater significance.
