Half-Time Report: Lacklustre Celtic two goals down at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Molde

Celtic are succumbing to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Molde in Thursday night's Europa League Group A clash at the Aker Stadion.

The Norwegian side, who brought former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back to the club this week, took the lead in the 11th minute.

Mohamed Elyounoussi squared the ball up for Ola Kamara, who rifled past Craig Gordon into the bottom right corner to deal Ronny Deila's charges an early blow.

Just seven minutes later the hosts succeeded in doubling their lead through Vegard Forren, who made the most of Celtic's poor handling of a set piece to fire a first-time shot inside the left post.

The visitors set about trying to get back into the game and played admirably, but could have conceded a third goal just before the break when Elyounoussi's powerful shot from the edge of the box was desperately kept out by Gordon.
