Vine: Celtic player hilariously prevents certain Celtic goal with his face

Celtic got a very good 1-1 draw last night in the first leg of their Champions League tie away to Maribor, but it could've been so much better.

Celtic got a very good 1-1 draw last night in the first leg of their Champions League tie away to Maribor, but it could’ve been so much better.

With 30 minutes on the clock and the tie in the balance at 1-1, Virgil van Dijk rose majestically to meet a great inswinging corner from Anthony Stokes and sent a thundering header towards the Maribor net. Except, fellow Celtic player Stefan Johansen was on the goal-line and he couldn’t get out of the way in time, as the ball smacked into his face, denying his team a certain goal.

Watch it here:

Poor Johansen, he’ll never show his squahed face in the Celtic dressing-room again.
