Celtic manager Tony Mowbray was left to rue what could have been, after his side drew 0-0 away at Hamburg to all but end their hopes of progress in the Europa League.
Celtic are now languishing at the bottom of Group C on two points, with just two games to play and second place five points away in the form of Hamburg. Hapoel Tel Aviv have already qualified with nine points.
"It's a frustrated dressing room once again. We had clear-cut chances that didn't go in," said Mowbray.

"We could easily be sitting here saying we won this game 1-0. We have two games left and we must take maximum points. Sometimes you're in the dressing room at half-time thinking you needed one of those chances to go in.
"I feel every game we have played in has been very close, but every other game in the group is 5-1 or 3-0.
"All our games tend to be tight and for whatever reason they haven't fallen our way. But you put it into context - they're a very powerful Bundesliga side - and you try to take the positives from it, which are that we are frustrated but we know that we can compete.
"We did go chasing the victory a bit. We put two strikers on for their stature and we kept Fox on to try to deliver into the box, and put McGinn on to use the space in front of us to run the team up the pitch.
"Pat McCourt was the other option but the way the game was flowing I felt McGinn's ability to move at speed away from the defensive areas would help the team more. But good teams force you back."
