Humza Yousaf reacts to 'one of the best' Celtic European displays

Former First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf says Celtic's performance against Bayern Munich last night was one of the best he's witnessed from them away from home in the Champions League.

The Parkhead side drew 1-1 in Germany despite leading going into the dying embers of the game.

Nicolas Kuhn put them 1-0 up on the night and levelled the tie just after the hour mark, although Alphonso Davies' late strike eventually proved the difference between the sides.

Celtic were within touching distance of the extra time and securing a maiden competitive win on German soil in 90 minutes, although it wasn't to be.

That hasn't prevented them from receiving wide praise for their antics, with Yousaf widely impressed: "Football can be cruel at times," he said on X.

"The players and manager should be incredibly proud. That was one of the best away performances in the Champions League I have seen from Celtic."

After some late European heartbreak, Celtic now turn their attention back to the domestic scene.

13 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table with 12 games to go, they remain strong favourites to secure their fourth title in a row.

A trip to face Hibernian at Easter Road lies in wait this weekend as Rodgers' men aim to get back to winning ways.
