    Celtic sunk by Solskjaer's Moldepublished at 08:35

    Celtic 1-2 Molde

    It was a tough night in Glasgow for Celtic as their defensive frailties were exposed again during a home defeat by Norwegian side Molde.

    First-half goals by Mohamed Elyounoussi and captain Daniel Hestad did the damage as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men reached the last 32.

    Kris Commons had briefly drawn Celtic level but Ronny Deila's side could not muster a second goal and had midfielder Nir Bitton sent off on 75 minutes. Celtic are bottom of Group A, but two wins will see them through.

    Klopp praises 'big talent' Ibepublished at 08:19

    Rubin Kazan 0-1 Liverpool

    Jurgen Klopp was first in line with the compliments for Liverpool match-winner Jordon Ibe. After Thursday's win against Rubin Kazan, he told the Liverpool Echo, external that the 19-year-old was a "big talent".

    The German added: "Jordon is a skilful player and a big talent - fast, strong, good at dribbling. He has to learn so much but has a real good base. He feels good. You could see it in this match.

    "Like everyone, he has a long way to go. If he's prepared to listen then he will be very good."

    Ibe opens Liverpool accountpublished at 08:09

    Rubin Kazan 0-1 Liverpool, Europa League

    Liverpool's 19-year-old winger Jordon Ibe received the plaudits on Thursday as his goal against Rubin Kazan put his team within a win of qualifying for the last 32 of the Europa League.

    The deserved opener came after the break when the teenager struck home from 20 yards. Second-placed Liverpool now trail Group B leaders Sion by two points but are three ahead of Bordeaux, who visit Anfield on 26 November.  

    And here's a stat to warm hearts at Anfield - Rubin Kazan had just 32% possession and seven shots - none on target - compared to Liverpool's 23. Read Thursday's match report here.
