Image for Behind The Scenes: Great video captures the drama of Celtic’s draw in Rennes

Celtic TV has provided supporters with a great behind-the-scenes look at last week’s 1-1 draw away to Rennes in the Europa League.

But for the erratic refereeing of  Jose Maria Sanchez it could have been an even better result as Celtic sent out a strong statement of intent on match-day one of their campaign.

The video captures the relaxed atmosphere in the city during the build up to the match as visiting fans soaked up the sunshine in anticipation of another European adventure.

Things get a bit more tense in the build up to the match as the squad arrives, looks around the stadium and prepares for action against the French outfit.

Going behind at half-time was a blow but Neil Lennon’s side weren’t deterred, not even when Ryan Christie was denied a clear penalty when he was tripped just inside the penalty box.

The Scotland midfielder wasn’t to be denied with the camera positioned perfectly to capture his equaliser from the penalty spot and celebrations a safe distance from the home fans.

Vakoun Bayo’s ridiculous red card is shown up for what it is before the manager and goal-scorer complete their media duties safe in the knowledge of a job well done.
