Leigh Griffiths, Stefan Johansen and Kris Commons have all refused to blame Efe Ambrose for his costly mistake in the 2-2 draw with Fenerbahce.

The hoops looked comfortable and certain to take a two-goal lead in to the break when the Nigerian's misplaced header allowed the Turkish side to equalise at the end of the first half.

It was Griffiths who had set Celtic on their way with a close-range volleyed opener and he told our reporter Gordon Duncan it was a frustrating night:

Ambrose was also partly to blame for Fenerbahce's equaliser just after they break when he allowed two-goal striker Fernandao to nip in and power a header beyond Craig Gordon.

Stefan Johansen says they are all in it together and no-one is pointing the finger.

Kris Commons continued his recent impressive form, firing in to the roof of the net to put Ronny Deila's side two-goals up.

The midfielder, like his team-mates, adopted a sympathetic approach towards their Nigerian team-mate.
