A much-changed Celtic suffered the first defeat of their Europa League campaign as second-half goals secured a 2-0 win for CFR Cluj in northwestern Romania.

Andrei Burca rose to head the hosts in front three minutes after the restart before Damjan Djokovic stabbed home a second with 20 minutes remaining as Dan Petrescu's side secured second place in Group E.

The Scottish champions were denied an unbeaten European group-stage campaign for the first time in their history, and Craig Gordon produced numerous saves to prevent Cluj from celebrating a more handsome victory.

The visitors finish the group on top with 13 points, one ahead of second-placed Cluj and attention will now turn to the draw for the last 32 of the Europa League on Monday in Nyon, with Celtic among the seeded teams.

What's next?

The draw for the last 32 of the Europa League takes place on Monday, December 16 in Nyon, with proceedings set to start at 12pm, UK time.

Celtic return to Scottish Premiership action on Sunday when they host Hibernian at Parkhead; kick-off is at 3pm.
