CELTIC brought the curtain down on their Europa League group campaign with a satisfying 3-2 win over Real Betis.
However, the victory came at a huge cost for Ange Postecoglou's men with talismanic striker Kyogo Furihashi and Swiss attacker Albian Ajeti forced to leave the field nursing hamstring injuries.
It may have been a dead rubber on paper but both sides served up a highly entertaining contest as the Aussie let his fringe and academy players take to the field at Celtic Park.
There were honourable mentions for Liam Scales and debutants Osaze Urhoghide and Liam Shaw as well as academy graduate Ewan Henderson who notched his first goal for the club whilst Stephen Welsh grabbed his first European counter for Celtic.
