BBC Scotland found themselves in an awkward situation on Tuesday night after tweeting about Celtic’s difficulties when conceding first in European competitions, only for the Hoops to turn the game around moments later.
Just six minutes after the tweet—highlighting that Celtic had lost 27 of their last 28 European matches after going behind—Nicolas Kuhn equalized, igniting a remarkable 3-1 comeback victory over RB Leipzig.
The timing of the tweet couldn’t have been worse, as it quickly became outdated.
Celtic responded to Christophe Baumgartner’s opener with Kuhn’s brace: the first a stunning strike off the post, followed by a clinical finish from Greg Taylor’s cross before halftime. The atmosphere at Parkhead reached new heights when Reo Hatate capitalized on a goalkeeping error from Peter Gulacsi to seal the win.
This victory not only overshadowed the premature analysis but also marked Celtic’s third consecutive home win in the Champions League and their second of the season, bringing their points tally to seven from four matches.
With four games still remaining, Celtic’s chances of advancing in the competition are looking stronger, and their resilience on Tuesday showcased their growing maturity on the European stage.
Club Brugge will visit Parkhead in just under three weeks.
