It was another Europa League night without Aston Villa tonight. I know, I know, I should be over it by now.

I’ve just finished watching a fine, battling performance by Rapid Vienna at Celtic Park earning a 1-1 draw. Although Celtic certainly went at the visitors, especially in the second half, in fairness it was a defensive error from Rapid that allowed the hosts to get back on level terms.

This Rapid Vienna side comfortably beat current top of Bundesliga Hamburg 3-0 at home in their Europa League group stage opener. In fact, I believe they’ve only lost twice so far this season, the last time being the 2-1 defeat at Villa Park.

I’ll have to put my hand up to underestimating the Austrians. Still gutted not to be in Europe though.
