Celtic earned themselves a very good point last night as we got our Europa League group stage campaign off and under way against Rennes in France.
After going behind despite having the better of the early stages of the first half, the Bhoys rallied and managed to get themselves back into the game with a penalty from Ryan Christie.
Plenty to be pleased about from that one, then, but we cannot dwell on it anymore as we’re already focusing on the game with Kilmarnock this weekend in another important league clash.
We’ve got some injury concerns for this one, too, with Boli Bolingoli set to be missing by the looks of things:
🗣 NL on @MBolingoli: “It’s not too serious. He’ll be a major doubt for the weekend and maybe Partick Thistle. He has a slight groin strain. Hopefully he’ll only miss one or two games.”

Whether or not he is fit for the game with local side Partick Thistle remains to be seen but it seems fair to assume from these comments from the gaffer that he’ll be missing against Killie.
Let’s see how we get on without him.
