Published:
With Celtic manager Ronny Deila heading back to his homeland to take on Molde many expected Celtic’s run of eight Europa League away games without a win to come to an end.
However, the Bhoys hadn’t banked on the return of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lifting the mid-table Norwegians to new heights and a dismal night for Celtic ended in a comprehensive 3-1 win for the hosts.

It’s fair to say Commons wasn’t in agreement with the decision…
Commons wasn’t the only one who thought his boss got it wrong, though, with the Scottish Sun’s poll showing the striker had the majority of Celtic fans behind him…
