The Story in 60 Seconds

Martin O'Neill adjusted Celtic's starting midfield for their Europa League opener against Ferencvaros following a 3-0 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox. Oliver Sørensen was introduced alongside Callum McGregor and Mika Baur, while Camilo Duran started centrally in place of Kasper Høgh, who dropped to the bench.
