The Lions held the champions 0-0 at half time but Benjamin Nygren’s double and Johnny Kenny’s strike meant they left Glasgow with nothing.

Brendan Rodgers had made eight changes to his starting lineup.

But Martindale, whose side have four points from their opening three games, said: “When you come to places like this you’ve got to carry a wee bit of luck at times.

“But I felt we limited ourselves to very little in the first half. We never caused any problems at all at the top end.
