Celtic head coach Brendan Rodgers has made a request to UEFA after he felt his side saw a goal wrongly ruled out during their Europa League league phase clash against Braga.

The Scottish champions were caught by surprise by the Portuguese visitors at Celtic Park on Thursday, with the away side opening the scoring thanks to Ricardo Horta’s long-range effort on 20 minutes – although experienced goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel ought to have done better.

Rodgers’ side thought they had levelled things early in the second half when Kelechi Iheanacho latched onto a loose pass before finishing past Lukas Hornicek to the delight of the Celtic crowd.

⚽ GOAL! Braga equalised.

⚽ GOAL AGAIN! 2-0. Game over.

Celtic were left stunned, their fans furious, chanting “ROBBED, ROBBED, ROBBED!” as thousands shook their heads in disbelief. The full-time whistle was met with deafening boos, while Braga celebrated one of their biggest wins in Europe.

This was supposed to be Celtic’s night. Instead, it will go down as one of the most controversial and chaotic evenings ever at Parkhead.

Celtic 0-2 Braga.

The Hoops robbed, the fans betrayed, and a night Glasgow will never forget.
