M’Baye Niang scored Rennes’ first Europa League group stage goal but Celtic came from behind to deny them victory in a 1-1 draw at Roazhon Park.
Both teams came into the game without conceding a goal in their last outing, but Niang handed Rennes a first-half lead.
The Senegalese converted a 38th minute penalty after sending Fraser Forster the wrong way after a rash defending from Kristoffer Ajer.
