Celtic fans have paid tribute to the Alashkert Two- from Uddingston.
A little corner of Celtic Park was cordoned off for visiting fans on Wednesday night with just two supporters turning up for the visitors.
They hadn’t traveled from Armenia for the match, instead they had driven along the M74 from Uddingston shaving 8,000 km off the return journey.
Loving the support me and my wee da got for our attendance at last night’s game!! We didn’t travel from as far as Armenia as most folk think but with traffic coming from Uddingston still took almost half an hour. Thank you all!! ???? @CelticFC pic.twitter.com/RJUPf310JC

Two early goals from Moussa Dembele ruled out any prospect of an upset as Celtic cruised through to the second round on a 6-0 aggregate.
Around 300 Rosenborg fans are expected to attend the second qualifying round with a similar number of hoops supporters expected in Norway for the second leg.
Last season the two clubs met in the third qualifying round with Celtic going through on a 1-0 aggregate thanks to a second leg goal from James Forrest.
Before the first leg is played between Celtic and Rosenborg the draw will be made for the third round draw which will be based on Celtic qualifying as the seeded club.
