Celtic suffer heavy friendly defeat

Scottish champions Celtic were dealt a 6-2 defeat from their pre-season friendly with German side Greuther Furth this evening.

Georgios Samaras and Mikael Lustig found the net for the Bhoys during the opening 45 minutes, but they still went into the break 3-2 behind thanks to a brace from Nikola Djurdjic and another goal by Kevin Kraus.

Baye Djiby Fall added another two goals for the hosts after the restart, while Dominick Drexler also got his name among the scorers.

Neil Lennon's team have lost all three of their friendlies so far this summer following recent defeats at the hands of Sevastopol and CFR Cluj.
