Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart has admitted elimination from the Europa Conference League at the hands of Bodø/Glimt was “hard to swallow”.
Ange Postecoglou’s side travelled to Norway for the second leg of their conference league meeting last night, looking to overturn a 3-1 defeat at Celtic Park.
It proved to be a highly disappointing evening for the Scottish giants, though, with an early goal from Ola Solbakken setting the tone for an eventual 2-0 defeat.
That saw them crash out of the tournament earlier than they would have expected, losing 5-1 on aggregate the Norwegian side, who have now progressed to the last 16.
Celtic did show signs of life either side of half-time and had the better of possession but were unable to put a finger on their opposition, managing just two shots on target in total.
While Bodø/Glimt’s goalkeeper was kept quiet, the same could not be said of Celtic number one Hart, who faced 13 shots in total, six of which were on target.
