Ange Postecoglou admits Celtic are not at the level he wants after a late collapse against Bayer Leverkusen ended hopes of Europa League progress.

Chasing their first ever win on German soil in Europe the Parkhead side recovered from the loss of an early goal to lead 2-1 thanks to a Panenka penalty from Josip Juranovic and a second half strike from Jota.

With eight minutes to play Leverkusen midfielder Robert Andrich snatched his second goal of the night to draw the home side level. Despite an inspired display from Joe Hart, the Bundesliga side sealed three points and top spot in the group when Moussa Diaby struck with three minutes to play.

'We tried our best to play our football but it wasn't easy. We really hung in there, our players showed great determination and resilience to keep working hard and try not to get away from the way we wanted to play.
