GLASGOW, Scotland -- Borussia Moenchengladbach capitalized on two defensive errors by Kolo Toure to beat Celtic 2-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday, earning the German team its first points in Group C.Toures first error came when he tried to shepherd the ball over the byline for a goal kick in the 57th. Andre Hahn wrapped his foot around the defender and hooked the ball back into the area, where Lars Stindl drove a shot through goalkeeper Craig Gordons legs from an acute angle.Hahn doubled the lead in the 77th after Toures pass near the halfway line was intercepted. Hahn sprinted through the middle and toe-poked a finish high into the net from just inside the area, just as Toure got back to attempt a lunging tackle.Im 35 and making a mistake like a 16-year-old, Toure said.Moenchengladbach revived its hopes of qualifying in the top two, having opened group play with losses at Manchester City and at home to Barcelona. The team is only a point behind City after three games.Celtic remained on one point and with games to go at City and at home to Barcelona, even a third-place finish -- and a spot in the Europa League -- looks remote for the Scottish champions.Moenchengladbach was on top for most of the game at Parkhead, with only a series of good saves by Gordon off Ibrahima Traore, Jonas Hofmann and Hahn keeping the teams level by the halftime.We were beaten by a better team, you cant argue with that, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers said. They were just sharper and quicker and thats the level we aspire to.When a game is going like that you dont want to gift anything and, unfortunately, we gave away two gifts.The teams meet again in Germany in two weeks.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- When TCU last won an NCAA Tournament game in 1987, Jamie Dixon was a senior guard for the then-Southwest Conference champion Horned Frogs.Dixon is now back at his alma mater as head coach, focused on the future and not the lack of any consistent success in the three decades since he played.Were starting over. I cant do anything about the last 30 years. I cant do anything about the last four in the Big 12, Dixon said. And were a new program for so many reasons, and I think its just the best way for us to look at it.The Frogs have won only eight conference games in four seasons since joining the Big 12. They are picked to finish last again in the league that had the highest overall RPI the past three seasons.Still, Dixon envisions the TCU program becoming similar to what he had while leading Pittsburgh to 11 NCAA Tournaments the past 13 seasons.I think we have everything in place here to do that, and thats where getting to the tournament is expected and anything less is not a good year, he said. I know theres no history to base that upon, but weve got to believe, weve got to have blind faith.TCU is going into its first full season in its completely redone arena, which was gutted but is still under the same roof that was there when Dixon was part of two SWC titles as a player.After replacing the fired Trent Johnson in late March, Dixon was able to add some impact freshmen -- point guard Jaylen Fisher, guard Desmond Bane and forward Kouat Noi -- and inherited a roster with four seniors that the new coach is relying on to be leaders.Our final chance, said guard Michael Williams, one of the TCU seniors. Weve got a new coach, got a new team, and looking to make big things happen.Some thinngs to watch for with the Horned Frogs this season:ON POINTDixons first signee was Fisher, who had been committed to UNLV before fired coach Dave Rice was replaced in April.dddddddddddd. Former UNLV assistant Ryan Miller, who had recruited Fisher, is now on Dixons staff at TCU. Jaylens very good. Hes what we needed, Dixon said. A point, great way to start a program with your first sign. ... He might be as good a point guard as there was last year, as far as a true point guard.RICH RETURNKenrich Williams, a 6-foot-7 guard, averaged 8.6 points and a team-leading 6.7 rebounds a game as a sophomore in 2014-15. But he missed last season after microfracture knee surgery. Williams is back and healthy after the redshirt year.SENIOR SHEPHARDBefore Fisher, the highest-rated recruit ever to sign with TCU was 6-11 forward Karviar Shepherd. After averaging 9.1 points and 6.8 rebounds as a freshman, Shepherds numbers dropped to 6.1 points and 5.7 rebounds as a sophomore, and he had 7.1 points and 5.2 rebounds a game last season.OPPOSITE PATHSDixon won 328 games in his 13 seasons with Pitt. Under its last three head coaches the past 14 seasons -- the late Neil Dougherty, Jim Christian and Johnson -- TCU won only 181 games and had only three winning records.NOT GETTING EASIERDixon went from the Big East to ACC with Pittsburgh, and now is in the Big 12. I seem to have gone from the best conference, to the best conference to the best conference, he said. Its fun, its exciting and its great that TCU is a part of that. Thats where it should be, and where it once was in the Southwest Conference.
