An experimental Hoops side found themselves three goals behind after only 19 minutes in the Group C dead rubber as Nikica Jelavic grabbed a double before strike partner Hamdi Salihi's goal threatened a rout.

However, Celtic striker Marc-Antoine Fortune scored before the interval, and as the visitors carved out several chances thereafter, he doubled his tally before Paul McGowan drove in a stoppage-time leveller to keep Celtic in third place.

Manager David Moyes saw his young pretenders tumble to the narrow defeat, having already qualified for the knockout phase.

The experimental XI sent out by the Scot held on until the 75th minute when a goal from Aleksandr Yurevich won the game for BATE.

Of more concern to Moyes was an injury to Jack Rodwell, which saw the midfielder come off after eight minutes.
