Celtic suffer more UEFA Youth League disappointment in Shakhtar Donetsk defeat

CELTIC's under-19s suffered more UEFA Youth League disappointment this afternoon against Shakhtar Donetsk. 

The Ukrainian outfit ran out 1-0 winners in Airdrie.

The result ultimately means that the Hoops are out of the competition at the group stages.

Vladyslav Pohorily netted the only goal of the match just after the hour-mark for the visitors. 

Some neat play down the left wing allowed Andriy Buleza the ideal chance to play a square ball across goal for tap in.

Celtic were left to rue a missed penalty in the first-half after Matthew Anderson was fouled inside the area. 

Adam Books stepped up to take for the Hoops, however, his spot kick went wide of the posts.

Benjamin Summers then hit a wicked shot, which took a deflection onto the bar, with Celtic going closs again. 

Shakhtar had some chances too, with Tobi Oluwayemi keeping the visitors at bay.

Perhaps the keeper's pick of the bunch was to deny Marian Farina on 41-minutes.

After the break, clear cut chances were few and far between for either team. 

That was until Pohorily stepped up to seal all three points for Shakhtar.

The Hoops did nearly hit back to level the score through Rocco Vata's creativity. 

However, it wasn't to be, as Shakhtar saw the game out by a single goal.
