GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers raised his hands to his head in despair before his own goal crossed the line to give Club Brugge in a 1-1 draw the lead in the Champions League. The United States international played a no-look pass back from 10 yards (meters) toward his own net where he thought goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel would be. Schmeichel was not there. The ball rolled slowly into the corner of the goal as the veteran Denmark goalkeeper raced helplessly across his line. The unforced error by Carter-Vickers gifted Club Brugge a 26th-minute lead at Celtic Park.
