CELTIC ended their decade-long wait for a Champions League win at Parkhead with a 2-1 victory against Feyenoord.
Luis Palma opened the scoring in the European clash from the penalty spot in the first half before Yankuba Minteh levelled it in the second period.

But summer signing Gustaf Lagerbnielke stepped up in stoppage time to head home a dramatic winner to send the Hoops support into raptures.
Here’s how the Celtic stars rated…
JOE HART – 7
Kept Celtic in it first half with two magnificent stops from Santiago Gimenez and Quinten Timber. Needed offside flag and woodwork. Helpless for Yankuba Minteh equaliser.
ALISTAIR JOHNSTON – 6
Not quite player of last season. Gritty enough but use of ball less reliable. Some good combination play with Mikey Johnston. Steady without being stand-out. Booked.
STEPHEN WELSH – 6
Exactly four months from last game he came in for stunning first start of season. Solid early tackle but vulnerable to Gimenez pace. Big ask, but he stepped up. Subbed.
LIAM SCALES – 8
Strong performer again. Covered ground well, one great recovery tackle before break. Won spot-kick after being hauled down at Luis Palma corner. Brilliant late block.
GREG TAYLOR – 6
Picked up a booking in first half added time which left him vulnerable. The Dutch got joy down his side first half with slick play. Stronger second half. Booked.
CALLUM MCGREGOR – 7
Picked out for gilt-edged 11th minute opportunity but could only weakly side-foot shot at Justin Bijlow. Found Feyenoord midfielders a handful. Dug deep. Screamer off bar.
TOMOKI IWATA – 2
Seen as a potential enforcer but for that you need to regularly be making solid tackles. After his first he was crocked. Couldn’t recover. Subbed 19 minutes.
MATT O’RILEY – 7
Terrific runs into great positions but Celts couldn’t capitalise. Has grown into a decent Champions League performer. Faded as an influence as second half wore on then great assist.
MIKEY JOHNSTON – 5
Big opportunities for the home-grown Bhoy to revitalise career. But nagging feeling remains he’s not taking them. Huffed and puffed. Great cross for Palma chance. Subbed.
KYOGO FURUHASHI – 5
Big early chance one-on-one but poorly hit shot saved easily. Off the boil. Celtic need him back to his best quickly. Hooked 67 minutes. Pale shadow.
LUIS PALMA – 6
Ice cool with penalty straight down middle for seventh goal of season. In and out of the game. One minute flirting, next disappearing. Shot saved by Bijlow against post. Subbed.
SUBS:
Paulo Bernardo – 4
Into the engine room but he didn’t provide an added continental flair.
Oh Hyeon-gyu – 3
Worked hard with little reward. Ball in net but earlier foul.
James Forrest – 4
Did well down right.
Gustaf Lagerbielke – 6
May well have transformed Celts career with 91st minute winner.
Mitchel Frame – 6
Was a credit for epic debut wide left.
