Celtic picked up their first point of this season's Europa League group stages on Thursday.

The Scottish side drew 2-2 with Lille in France, though they will be disappointed with the result having led 2-0 at half-time.

Mohamed Elyounoussi opened the scoring for Celtic in the 28th minute with a super strike from the edge of the box.

Celtic doubled their lead just four minutes later. Again, Elyounoussi was the scorer, this time from inside the penalty area.

Lille got a chance to pull a goal back five minutes before the break when a clumsy foul from Shane Duffy - which looked to have been outside the box - saw a penalty awarded.

However, a weak penalty from Jonathan David was saved by the legs of Scott Bain.

The home side halved the deficit through Zeki Celik in the 67th minute and were level eight minutes later with a goal from Jonathan Ikone.
