Immobile Scores Two Goals in Lazio's 2-0 Victory Over Celtic

Captain Ciro Immobile scored two late goals to lead Lazio to a 2-0 victory over struggling visitors Celtic in Group E, boosting the Italian team's hopes of advancing to the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League, while the visiting team was officially eliminated from the competition on Tuesday. The substitute Immobile opened the scoring for the hosts in the 82nd minute with a close-range shot that found the roof of the net, and he made it 2-0 three minutes later with a low shot. Lazio temporarily moved to the top of the group with ten points from five matches and will guarantee their progression to the Round of 16 if third-placed Feyenoord loses at home to second-placed Atletico Madrid later today. Celtic, bottom of the group with one point, needed a win to keep their hopes of advancing alive.
