The atmosphere, as ever, was electric at Celtic Park. Brendan Rodgers' side seized their opportunity against Manchester City last time out and it brought a great deal of hope into this game against Borussia Monchengladbach.

The German side were far from full strength after starting the Bundesliga season in pretty indifferent form. Two defeats to open up their Champions League season reflects where Monchengladbach have been at so far this year. Their performances have been up and down, rarely looking like the side that impressed for so much of last season.

Instead of the close-fought affair that many had predicted at Celtic Park, the German outfit were dominant throughout as they all but killed off Celtic's Champions League dreams for another year. Defeat left the Glaswegian side licking their wounds and requiring some sort of divine intervention to qualify for the Round of 16.

Celtic Park provides some wonderful imagery and here are FIVE of the best snaps from Wednesday night...

Decent night out

Celtic v Borussia Monchengladbach - UEFA Champions League Group Stage - Group C

There are few places better to watch football than Celtic Park.

Add Champions League football, a cool autumnal Glasgow evening and a sense of optimism and you have quite an occasion. Pre-kick-off, there was a spine tingling roar around Celtic Park, which made Borussia Monchengladbach's impressive start to the game all the more remarkable.

The German side clearly weren't intimidated and perhaps Celtic found it actually cranked up the pressure on them.

Barking his orders

Borussia Monchengladbach dominated the first half and Celtic were left trying to get into the game, with their crowd quietened and their manager left wondering what had gone wrong.

Brendan Rodgers was not short of orders for his players during the opening 45 minutes.

Opening Up

Having dominated for the entirety of the game, it was of little surprise when the away side took the lead through Lars Stindl in the 55th minute.

Celtic had struggled to keep the German side at bay throughout the night and the gap in quality was plain to see up until this point. Changes followed from Brendan Rodgers as he tried to manoeuvre his side back into the game.

Leaving the last chance saloon

Last ditch defending summed up Celtic's night. Too often caught out at the back and sitting in front of their own goal for much of the game, they were unable to press Borussia in the way they did Manchester City and were pinned back for much of the game.

The eventual breakthroughs were well deserved for the Bundesliga side and their quality shone through.

Penny for your thoughts, lads?

Another Champions League adventure is over for Celtic, barring some sort of ludicrous turnaround in the footballing world. The glimmer of hope presented in that game with Manchester City was put out by an excellent Monchengladbach side and even reaching the Europa League looks unlikely now.
