The Scottish side conceded first through a bizarre Cameron Carter-Vickers own goal in the 26th minute, before Daizen Maeda restored parity in the 60th minute in what Rodgers described as a “game of two halves”.

Rodgers also praised Carter-Vickers for how he put an uncharacteristic error aside to play his part in Celtic’s fightback. The centre-back failed to note Kasper Schmeichel was out of position when he rolled a pass back towards goal and watched in anguish as it rolled over the line and into the bottom corner of the net.
