Celtic 1 Molde 2: Norwegians secure place in knockout stages

Molde clinched a place in the knockout stages of the Europa League with a 2-1 win away at Celtic, a result that means they have done the double over their Group A rivals.

Mohamed Elyounoussi scored one goal and set up another for Daniel Berg Hestad before the break, as Molde ended Celtic's five-match unbeaten run at home in Europe.

However, a miserable night for Ronny Deila's side was complete when Nir Bitton was shown a straight red card 13 minutes from time for hauling down Ola Kamara.

The result in Glasgow, coupled with the 0-0 draw between Ajax and Fenerbahce, means Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team are certain to go through to the last 32 of the competition.

Celtic levelled the score in fortunate fashion five minutes later, as Bitton's speculative volley from long range struck team-mate Commons to wrong foot visiting goalkeeper Ethan Horvath.

Horvath kept his side ahead with two excellent second-half saves, first tipping over a sharp drive from Kieran Tierney before getting down low to his left to claw away a goal-bound header from Mikael Lustig.

Griffiths, though, failed to even work the keeper when played in by Stefan Johansen's chipped pass, flashing his attempt wide to the right.
