Chris Sutton joined the thousands of Celtic supporters saluting Leigh Griffiths after the 1-0 win over Rosenborg.
The Europa League opener seemed certain to be heading for a draw when the hoops substitute nodded a header into the Norwegian net.
Griffiths had watched the game unfold from the bench with Celtic full of possession but unable to muster any real threat to the Norwegian goal.

It could have been a re-run of the 0-0 draw at St Mirren on Friday night- and many of last season’s goal-less draws- but just as all seemed lost Griffiths performed his rescue act.
Anything less than full points would have been a major blow to Celtic’s qualification hopes- especially with two away matches coming up.
Celtic’s next match in Group B is away to RB Salzburg who are bound to go into the match in confident mood after winning 3-2 away to RB Leipzig.
