Celtic have showed signs of recovery following an early two-goal setback against Red Bull Salzburg to go in at half time 2-1 down in their Europa League clash at Celtic Park.
It took less than eight minutes for the group leaders to edge ahead, with Alan side-footing the ball beyond the reach of Craig Gordon for his fifth goal in the competition this season.
The hosts' night got even worse soon after when the same man this time slipped marker Efe Ambrose inside the box to head home a corner, just moments after Leigh Griffiths squandered a brilliant opening at the other end.
If not for the intervention of Gordon on the 20-minute mark, Salzburg could have had a third as Peter Ankersen's long-range drive was heading for the back of the net.
Red Bulls then had a shout for a penalty turned down when Virgil van Dijk brought the lively Alan down inside the box, with the referee waving play on to the bemusement of the forward.
It proved a potentially big moment in the game, too, with Celtic pulling one back just three minutes later when Stefan Johansen converted Emilio Izaguirre's cross to give Ronny Deila's side some hope.
