More grief for Celtic’s Champions League opponents

The hoops travel to Atalanta on October 23, and the Europa League holders lost 3-2 at home to Como last night, dropping them to 12th place in Serie A with six points from five games.

After gaining the lead at home, Atalanta conceded goals in the 46th, 54th, and 58th minutes before drawing one back in the ninth minute of stoppage time.

Expectations and eight Champions League encounters appear to be testing Gian Gasperini’s squad.

Celtic face Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, who fell 5-1 at Stuttgart over the weekend after a strong win at Feyenoord.

Dortmund is in ninth place in the Bundesliga with seven points from four games heading into Saturday’s meeting at home against Bochum.

Celtic Park will not witness Champions League football again until November 5, when RB Leipzig returns to Glasgow following a convincing victory over Ange Postecoglou’s team two years ago.

Leipzig drew 0-0 with St Pauli over the weekend, following a close defeat at Atletico Madrid in their Champions League opening. After four matches, Leipzig has eight points and is in fifth place in the Bundesliga.

Later in the season, Celtic will travel to Dinamo Zagreb on December 10, with the Croatian champions expected to be led by new management after Sergej Jakirovic was fired following Bayern Munich’s 9-2 Champions League defeat.
