Celtic were soundly defeated 3-1 by Midtjylland in the Europa League on a tough night on the continent.
The in-form Danes easily brushed aside the Scottish champions at the MCH Arena and could easily have won by more. They peppered the Celtic goal with 23 strikes, of which three found the net.
Celtic were undone in a wretched spell between 34 and 41 minutes. Martin Erlic headed home the opener, Mikel Gorgoza curled in a second a minute later and the prolific Franculino netted another not long after to put the game to bed.
Midtjylland took their foot off the gas in the second period. Celtic were awarded a penalty on 80 minutes after Callum Osmand was fouled and Reo Hatate slid in the effort. The night ended in more pain, however, when Osmand was stretchered off with what looked like a serious hamstring injury.
Celtic are on four points after four matches and their hopes of progress to the knock-out stages hang in the balance at the halfway stage of the competition.
Here are the marks out of ten for the Celtic players in Herning:
9. Sebastian Tounekti
Looked Celtic's most threatening player but too often lacked an end product. Made way for Balikwisha towards end. 4 | Ritzau Scanpix/AFP via Getty Ima
10. James Forrest
No impact in an attacking sense and could not protect Ralston behind him. Hooked for Maeda at the break. 3 | Ritzau Scanpix/AFP via Getty Ima
11. Johnny Kenny
Thankless task for the Irishman, who was starved off service. Looked overawed by the Midtjylland defence. Came off for Osmand at half time. 3 | SNS Group
12. Callum Osmand
Came on at half time. Won the penalty with his pace. Night ended on a horrid note with a suspected hamstring rupture as he left pitch on stretcher. 4 | Ritzau Scanpix/AFP via Getty Ima
