Celtic endure late heartbreak as Pedro's 95th-minute winner consigned the Scottish champions to another Champions League defeat.
Kyogo Furuhashi's early opener gave Celtic hope of a rare Champions League home win before Lazio hit back
However, indecision in the home defence was punished midway through the first half as Matias Vecino was afforded space to glance in a header. Little surprise then when the home side accelerated to just the reward their early play deserved. Matt O'Riley's pass into Kyogo was perfect for the Japanese to hit the ball underneath keeper Ivan Provedel.
The bumper home crowd were then nearly celebrating another Celtic goal. Reo Hatate's low shot from an O'Riley free-kick lay off brought a smart save from Provedel before right-back Alastair Johnston blasted over. You had the sense something was coming. They started like a house on fire, got the goal their early energy deserved, then fell out of things for a while to allow Lazio to level. Never outclassed, they matched the Serie A side after the break and thought they had taken three precious Champions League points for the first time in a decade when Palma blasted in.More Champions League pain for Celtic, who have a difficult double-header with Atletico Madrid in store for them next in this competition.
