Celtic 1-2 Molde: Norwegians secure place in knockout stages

Molde clinched a place in the last 32 of the Europa League with a 2-1 win over a Celtic side that had Nir Bitton sent off.

Molde clinched a place in the knockout stage of the Europa League with a 2-1 win away at Celtic.

Mohamed Elyounoussi scored one goal and set up another for Daniel Berg Hestad before the break, as Molde ended Celtic's five-match unbeaten run at home in Europe.

The hosts had two early goals correctly disallowed, but did see a fortunate effort from Kris Commons count in a see-saw opening half.

But a miserable night for Ronny Deila's side was complete when Nir Bitton was shown a straight red card 13 minutes from time for hauling down Ola Kamara.
