FT 1-1 and a mad 7min period by Nir Bitton during the 1st half absolutely made this result when Celtic 1-0 ahead through a well deserved debut goal by Abadi and Celtic "cruising" against the Danish league champions. Bitton picking up two yellow cards inside 7mins and the second one deserving of a massive fine for a sheer lack of discipline in "lifting his hands" to confront a Danish forward who was eventually booked for "diving" in the Hoops' pen box. He is an experienced defender with no excuses re this behaviour. Indeed I recall he picked up a silly red card last season v Rangers at Ibronx at a point when Celtic "on the ascendency" and then beaten after that red card. Now they have a bigger challenge in Denmark v opponents who were not that good and Celtic definitely the better side in this CL quali tie.
