Frenchman Odsonne Edouard gave the hosts an eighth minute lead with a deflected strike, though thousands of fans were left in the dark with a blank screen only visible for many.

The club posted an apology on social media two minutes before kick-off, while commentator Gerry McCulloch and presenter Connie McLaughlin each apologised later on the broadcast.
