ANGE POSTECOGLOU bemoaned the same old story as Celtic fell to Champions League defeat against RB Leipzig last night.

The Parkhead boss has watched his side struggle to finish chances as they sit bottom of their group with one point after four games.

Last night's defeat was another example of Postecoglou's side creating some seriously good chances and opportunities in front of goal but failing to make them pay.

Gutted Postecoglou said: “It’s been the story of our campaign so far – a lot of missed chances.

“I’m disappointed for our players and supporters that they haven’t had their rewards.”

And a look at the stats from Celtic's four outings suggests they should have more than their two goals to date in the group stage - even if that wouldn't necessarily mean more points.

Across Celtic's four matches, they've had a total of 54 shots according to Sky Sports stats. But they've only two goals to show for it.

Going by the same statistics, Celtic have created seven clear-cut chances across the four matches so far. And they've had 17 shots on target throughout the competition.

Against Real Madrid in the group stage opener, Celtic smashed the post and had ten shots on goal without finding the net. Real Madrid had just two more shots, but three more clear-cut chances in the 3-0 win.

In Poland, Celtic had 16 shots on goal - which is 11 more than opponents Shakhtar but only created the same one clear-cut chance as the Ukrainian side in the score draw.

In the first match against RB Leipzig, Celtic again had plenty of shots with 12 in Germany compared to the hosts' 16.

It was less close in clear-cut chances, however, with Celtic creating just one and conceding three in the 3-1 defeat.

Celtic were perhaps most unfortunate in last night's defeat where they hit the woodwork on multiple occasions. And their inability to take chances was again their downfall.

Both Celtic and Leipzig were judged to have four clear-cut openings in the match with Leipzig running out 2-0 winners.
