Roma swept Celtic aside 3-0 at Celtic Park as Evan Ferguson's first-half double left Wilfried Nancy as the first manager in the club's history to lose his opening two games in charge. After conceding inside six minutes, the Scottish champions were booed off at the break and the stadium had largely emptied by full-time.
It was a chastening Europa League night for Nancy, eight days after his debut defeat at home to Hearts, and one that left Celtic clinging to a play-off place on goal difference with games against Bologna and Utrecht still to come.
Scales own goal sets the tone
Roma needed only six minutes to break Celtic's resistance. Kasper Schmeichel cheaply gave the ball straight to Roma, triggering an attack that earned a corner from the right. Matías Soulé whipped it in, and with Gianluca Mancini lurking, Liam Scales panicked and headed past his own goalkeeper.
