Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon was compared to Loris Karius after he made a shocking mistake that nearly cost Celtic a place in the Europa League knockout stages.
The Celtic and Scotland stopper had a costly momentary lapse in concentration in the 76th minute of the crucial encounter.
Gordon wasn’t aware of one of Red Bull Salzburg’s rushing attackers and the former Sunderland man shocked fans when he threw the ball directly at Salzburg’s Fredrik Gulbrandsen, the attacker didn’t turn down the gift of a goal this close to Christmas and he fired Salzburg into the lead.
