Club Brugge is no longer very far from the objective of ten points, which means almost certain qualification for the next round. Blauw & Zwart will still need a victory, who still have two home games to play.
Club Brugge might have signed before the match for a split at Celtic Park. But given the appearance of the match, with this enormous gift from the Scots in the first half, Nicky Hayen’s men will certainly be sorry for not having taken the three points.
This sharing gave the Blauw & Zwart their seventh unit of the European campaign, which places them in 22nd position. The Club must still host Zeno Debast’s Sporting CP and Juventus, before going to Manchester City on the last day.
With two home games remaining out of three games still to be played, Brugge are in a good position and would only need one more victory to reach a ten-point mark which should be sufficient for qualification.
