Celtic's Europa League campaign ended at the first knock-out hurdle as the Scottish champions succumbed to Zenit St Petersburg in their round-of-32 tie.
Branislav Ivanovic, given a free header inside the box, powered home a corner after seven minutes to level the tie.
Aleksandr Kokorin missed a great chance before Daler Kuzyaev's swerving 25-yard shot deceived Dorus de Vries.
Tom Rogic, Olivier Ntcham and Kristoffer Ajer had efforts before Kokorin bundled home Ivanovic's cross.
The visitors created very little on a miserable evening for Brendan Rodgers' side after the promise of their first-leg performance.
They will now turn their attention to the pursuit of another domestic treble, resuming their Premiership campaign against Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Sunday.
Rodgers started with the same line-up that overcame Zenit 1-0 in the home leg, hoping for a similar level of performance, one that would carry some threat.
But, this was not to be as the match ended 3-0 with goal aggregate of 3-1.
