John Guidetti's late goal helps Celtic hold Inter Milan to draw in Europa League clash

Celtic kept their chances of progressing in their Europa League tie as they held Inter Milan to a draw, thanks to John Guidetti's stunning added-time goal.

Early goals by Xherdan Shaqiri and Rodrigo Palacio gave Inter the lead but Celtic levelled before the half hour was complete through Stuart Armstrong's strong finish and Hugo Campagnaro's own goal.

Inter were again in the lead at the end of half time as Palacio pounced on Craig Gordon's error to complete his brace, the BBC reported.

The second half was not so eventful as the first and did not look like yielding any further goals until the Swede's first strike since November.

Guidetti's goal has kept the tie in the balance and Celtic would play the second leg at the San Siro on 26 February.

Celtic had rightfully approached the first leg in a confident state of mind, with eight successive wins since the turn of the year and the sense that the team are really beginning to gel under manager Ronny Deila, the report added.
