Result Bologna 2 - 2 Celtic, Thursday 22 January 2026, UEFA Europa League Matchday 7, League Phase
Bologna concluded the UEFA Europa League Matchday 7 with a draw on Thursday, January 22, 2026, at the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium in Bologna, Italy. The match between Bologna and Celtic was an exciting affair, characterized by numerous twists and turns, and both teams maintained a high tempo for nearly the entire 90 minutes. Ultimately, each team secured 1 point. Bologna and Celtic have never met before.
The first half was dominated by Celtic, who established a 0-2 lead with goals from Reo Hetate in the 5th minute and Auston Trusty in the 40th minute. Additionally, Stuttgart faced a challenge with the red card issued to Hetate in the 34th minute.
In the second half, Bologna began to find their rhythm, despite having performed well in the first half as well. During the second 45 minutes, Italiano's squad succeeded in leveling the score with a goal from Thijs Dallinga in the 58th minute. The equalizing goal came in the 72nd minute when Jonathan Rowe scored with a left-footed shot from outside the box, finding the high center of the goal after a corner was conceded by Arne Engels.
Stats BEFORE the game Bologna vs Celtic
The only prior match between the Rossoblù and a Scottish team occurred in the 1990/91 UEFA Cup against Heart of Midlothian: during that match, the Emilian team progressed to the next round (after a 3-1 loss away and a 3-0 win at home).
Celtic has managed just one victory in 16 away games in Italy in major European competitions (with 4 draws and 11 losses), having defeated Lazio 2-1 in November 2019 in the Europa League.
Bologna has triumphed in their last two Europa League matches and has not had a longer winning streak in major European competitions since their five consecutive wins in the 1998/99 UEFA Cup. Bologna remains unbeaten in their last five Europa League matches (3 wins, 2 draws) and has only once gone without defeat in more consecutive matches in major UEFA competitions: eight times between 1964 and 1971.
Following their 4-1 win in the last Europa League match at the Dall'Ara stadium on November 27th, Bologna could secure at least two consecutive home victories in major European competitions for the first time since the stretch between September 1998 and March 1999 (where they won four in that instance in the UEFA Cup).
