Neil Lennon’s got themselves a morale-boosting draw in France, though they’ll also be disappointed they didn’t take all three points after leading 2-0 at the break.
An quick-fire double from Mohamed Elyounoussi had the visitors in an unexpected position before the break and when Scott Bain repelled a Jonathan David penalty it looked like they could be destined for victory.
However, Lille came storming back in the second period. Penning Celtic in for long periods, they finally found the breakthrough with Mehmet Celik before Nanitamo Ikone earned the hosts a draw.
