=================
Celtic came away from Belgrade with a draw from last night’s Europa League opener against Red Star – but should it be viewed as a point gained, or two dropped?
Following a fairly even first half Brendan Rodgers made the call to replace Daizen Maeda with Kelechi Iheanacho at half time and just ten minutes later Celtic got their reward with the ex-Man City man tucking away a brilliant opening goal.
Frustration then stems from what looks like a very avoidable equaliser for the hosts as we first conceded and then properly failed to defend a corner, allowing Marko Arnautovic to draw his side level.
There would be no further scoring at the Rajko Mitic Stadim with both sides having to settle for a stalemate on Matchday 1, but Celtic can take great confidence from a breakthrough performance by 19-year-old Colby Donovan, as well as another impressive cameo by Iheanacho.
HOWEVER, questions do remain over Daizen Maeda’s place in the lineup following another out of sorts display, as well as what seems to be a disjointed midfield three at this moment in time.
