Here’s a summary of the key events as Celtic secured a crucial point away to Atalanta in their Champions League campaign:
*Celtic’s European Journey Continues with Mixed Results for Rivals.
After earning a vital point against Atalanta on matchday three of the Champions League league phase, Celtic still have five games remaining against different opponents in their group.
*Upcoming Fixture: RB Leipzig at Home.

*Contrasting Results for Other Opponents.
– *Dinamo Zagreb earned a notable 2-0 victory over a ten-man Salzburg, bringing them to four points from three matches, the same tally as Celtic.
-*Young Boys faced Inter Milan, losing 1-0 at home due to a last-minute goal from Marcus Thuram under interim manager Joel Magnin.
– *Aston Villa maintained their flawless record in the league phase with a 2-0 win against Bologna, sitting comfortably at the top of the table.
– *Club Brugge, who will visit Celtic on matchday five, suffered a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan at the San Siro, compounded by a red card just before half-time.
*Celtic’s Path Ahead.
While the draw in Bergamo was a significant achievement for Brendan Rodgers’ side, tougher tests lie ahead. The Hoops will need to continue their strong home form if they hope to secure the points required for a place in the last-16 play-offs.
