Celtic\u2019s hunt for an away European win continues after they were pegged back by Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade<\/strong> in a 1-1 draw during their UEFA Europa League (UEL) group opener. For the Bhoys, the result extends their winless streak on the road in Europe since October 2021 \u2014 a record that continues to frustrate fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First-Half Battle: Red Star on the Front Foot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Celtic started brightly with possession, but Red Star Belgrade\u2019s counter-attacking edge<\/strong> caused real problems. Nemanja Radonji\u0107\u2019s early strike off-target was a warning sign, and Mirko Ivani\u0107 squandered two promising opportunities soon after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hosts nearly broke the deadlock when Bruno Duarte\u2019s volley hit the side-netting, while Benjamin Nygren\u2019s free-kick gave Celtic their first shot on target. At the other end, Kasper Schmeichel kept Celtic alive with a superb fingertip save to push Duarte\u2019s strike onto the woodwork. Both sides created half-chances before the break, but neither could find the cutting edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celtic Strike First, but Red Star Responds Immediately<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After halftime, Celtic began to dominate. Matheus, Red Star\u2019s goalkeeper, was forced into three big saves in quick succession<\/strong> against Nygren, Kelechi Iheanacho, and Colby Donovan. The pressure finally paid off in the 56th minute as Iheanacho powered a stunning finish into the top corner<\/strong>, giving Celtic the lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Red Star refused to roll over. Just nine minutes later, Franklin Tebo Uchenna combined well with Duarte, squaring for Marko Arnautovi\u0107<\/strong>, who calmly restored parity for the Serbian champions. The Belgrade crowd roared back to life, and both sides chased a winner with relentless energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late Drama but No Winner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Schmeichel denied Ivani\u0107 moments after the equalizer, while Matheus bravely denied Iheanacho at the other end. Celtic\u2019s defense held strong in the closing minutes, with Liam Scales making a vital intervention<\/strong> to prevent Aleksandar Katai from snatching all three points for Red Star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the hosts, the draw adds to the momentum of three consecutive league victories since their Champions League heartbreak against Pafos. For Celtic, it\u2019s now two wins and two draws in all competitions<\/strong> since their elimination by Kairat Almaty \u2014 but the elusive away European win still escapes them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
