Patrick Roberts reveals Pep Guardiola congratulated him after Manchester City loanee scored against his parent club for Celtic in Champions League

Patrick Roberts was pleased to help Celtic end their Champions League campaign on a high after scoring against his parent club Manchester City on Tuesday night.

The 19-year-old fired the Hoops into the lead after only four minutes of the Group C fixture at the Etihad Stadium, with Kelechi Iheanacho levelling four minutes later as the game ended 1-1.

The result had no effect on the final placings, with the home side through and the Scottish champions out of Europe altogether.
