# Celtic: Scales, Maeda and O’Riley struggled v Bodo/Glimt

**Celtic were dumped out of the Europa Conference League on Thursday evening, losing the second leg against Bodo/Glimt [2-0](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60456047).**

Ange Postecoglou rang the changes for the trip to Norway, but they didn’t have the desired effect, with goals in each half ensuring a [5-1](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60456047) aggregate defeat for the Hoops.

There were some pretty underwhelming performances from those in green and white, and *The Transfer Tavern* have used statistical experts [SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/bodoglimt-celtic/gnscX) to analyse who Celtic’s three worst players (to have played at least 45 minutes) were on the night.

In total, these players lost the ball a whopping 36 times, were second best in 70% of their aerial and ground duels and failed to complete a cross between them.

[Celtic updates!!](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/celtic-updates-22/)

### Liam Scales – 6.1/10

First up is Scales, who struggled throughout at left-back. The summer signing lost the ball on [19 occasions](https://www.sofascore.com/bodoglimt-celtic/gnscX) and was successful in just five of his 12 duels.

The Irishman also failed to complete any of his attempted crosses and committed three fouls, one of which resulted in a booking.

### Daizen Maeda – 6.2/10

Next up is Maeda, who once again lined out on the wing with Giorgos Giakoumakis occupying a central role up top.

The Japanese forward lost [eight of his 10 duels](https://www.sofascore.com/bodoglimt-celtic/gnscX), gave possession away eight times and missed a big chance. He also attempted just one cross (which didn’t reach its intended target), was dribbled past twice and committed two fouls.

### Matt O’Riley – 6.3/10

O’Riley is the final player to make the list and was actually replaced at half-time with the Hoops trailing.

During his 45 minutes on the pitch, the midfielder lost the ball [nine times](https://www.sofascore.com/bodoglimt-celtic/gnscX), failed to deliver an accurate cross and was second-best in three of his four duels. He also failed to make a defensive contribution and had just 24 touches of the ball.
