CELTIC 5-2 HAPOEL BEER SHEVA
A game that had everything with the perfect finale provided for by Scott Brown.
The Israeli champions were rated as the toughest of the non-seeded sides in the play-off phase but were taken apart in a blistering first half that featured a great double from Leigh Griffiths.
Panic set in as Hapoel pulled the scoreline back to 3-2 as the ghost of previous Champions League qualifiers resurfaced.
Moussa Dembele put Celtic 4-2 ahead but it was a rare goal from the skipper that gave Celtic breathing space for the return leg with that unconventional strike making the difference after a very nervy 2-0 defeat in Israel.
