A lot of the post-match focus was on the non-goal, however Schmeichel's mistake handed the initiative to Braga.

Maeda is being performed out of place to accommodate Tounekti, whereas each midfield mixture Rodgers has tried has lacked innovative and vitality.

Supporters have highlighted the perceived lack of switch ambition in the summertime.
However Celtic's struggles stretch again to February, once they ran Bayern Munich shut earlier than being knocked out of the Champions League.
Since then, they've didn't win in 12 of 27 matches in all competitions.
“It was a poor Celtic efficiency,” former Scotland ahead James McFadden stated on Sportsound. “Missing high quality, one thing we're not used to seeing with Celtic.
“I believe the change of form at half-time helped a little bit bit, however in the long run Braga deserved the win.”
Defensive errors and an absence of attacking high quality isn't a successful mixture.
“Not sufficient intent for me,” former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner stated. “Retaining the ball nice, shifting it round, however not sufficient actual intent in that ultimate third.
“Not capable of defend and large, large errors from Schmeichel.”
