Serie A’s top scorer Ciro Immobile gave Lazio the lead as early as in the seventh minute.
The Bhoys kept the composure intact and restored parity through James Forrest who scored his 11th goal of the season just before the break.
Neil Lennon’s side defended strongly and it looked like they would earn a point, but a 95th-minute striker from Ntcham turned the tide in Celtic’s favour.
Celtic managed 43% of possession and attempted 12 shots on goal during the game, according to BBC Sport.
