    Carter-Vickers endured a nightmare few minutes for Celtic against Lazio. With the score at 0-0 after 80 minutes, Immobile ghosted in behind the central defender and scored his first goal, after an initial shot was deflected.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Celtic came into the game knowing that only a win would do if they were to have any chance of staying in with a fighting chance of qualification, and their defeat has eliminated them from the Champions League. A third-placed finish is also impossible, meaning they are now completely out of Europe. By comparison, Lazio have moved top of Group E, two points ahead of Atletico Madrid, although the Spanish club can overtake them with a win over Feyenoord.
