Celtic are up and running in this season’s Europa League
Having wasted several chances to break the deadlock against Rosenborg on Thursday night, they eventually found a winner with just three minutes of normal time remaining.
Having replaced Odsonne Édouard only ten minutes earlier, Leigh Griffiths was the scorer nodding home after Dedryck Boyata had headed Scott Brown’s high ball back across the Norwegian side’s penalty area.

Celtic had beaten Rosenborg in the qualifying rounds for the Champions League in summer before eventually being eliminated by AEK Athens. Their next Europa League game will see them travel to face RB Salzburg, who beat RB Leipzig 3-2 away in the other opening game in Group B on Thursday.
