Celtic had gone unbeaten in the Europa League prior to Thursday's defeat
A much-changed Celtic side slipped to their first defeat in seven Europa League games this season, losing 2-0 to CFR Cluj in Romania.
Neil Lennon, whose team had already clinched top spot in the group and will be seeded for Monday's last-32 draw, made nine changes to the side that beat Rangers in Sunday's League Cup final.
And second-half goals by Andrei Burca and Damjan Djokovic ended the Scottish Premiership side's 12-game winning run in all competitions and gave Cluj a second win over Celtic this term.
