Brendan Rodgers loses first game for Celtic to Gibraltar's Lincoln Red Imps in UCL

Brendan Rodgers loses first game for Celtic to Gibraltar's Lincoln Red Imps (Part-time Footballer) in the first leg of their second Champion League qualifier at the Victoria stadium, Celtic were with around 300 supporters.

                                        Only five full-time footballers, others are part-time

Lincoln Red Imps defeated Celtic 1 - 0 with only 5 full-time footballers in the starting XI yesterday with a crowd of less than 2000 home fans. The Parkhead side laboured in the searing heat of the goalless first 45 minutes and were then stunned when Lee Casciaro (Police Officer) score in the 47th minute, who also scored Gibraltar's first international goal against Scotland at Hampden in 2015.

Though, Celtic's striker Leigh Griffiths hit the woodwork twice as they battled for their dignity, the home side held out for a result which ranks as the most embarrassing in Celtic's European history.

The return leg will be at Celtic Park next week and Brendan Rodgers will have opportunity to bounce back to make do for progressing to next round.
