Part of situation: Celtic FC balances domestic dominance with European struggle (8 clusters)

Celta Vigo defeats Celtic 2-1 in Europa League comeback

Europa League Celta Vigo Celtic FC Javi Rodríguez Mika Baur

Celta Vigo secured their first points of the 2026/2027 Europa League campaign with a 2-1 comeback victory against Celtic at Celtic Park. Although Mika Baur put the Scottish side ahead in the 47th minute, Celta Vigo responded with two quickfire goals from defender Javi Rodríguez in the 68th and 71st minutes.

The defeat marks Celtic's third consecutive loss in the Europa League league phase, following previous defeats to Ferencvaros and Benfica. While Celtic remains dominant in the Scottish Premiership, their European form has struggled significantly.

For Celta Vigo, the win provides a vital boost after losing their opening two matches. Javi Rodríguez, who recently renewed his contract with the club until 2030, was the standout performer, scoring both goals to secure the three points for the Spanish side.
