Neil Lennon picked out Moi Elyounoussi and Scott Bain for special praise after Celtic’s 2-2 draw away to Lille.

The on-loan winger scored two first half goals to put Celtic in front with Bain saving a penalty as Lille piled on the pressure looking for a way back into the match.

After 27 minutes Elyounoussi showcased his ability with a purposeful run off the left wing before guiding home a brilliant 28 yard drive that the left the home keeper motionless.

Less than five minutes later he fired home a low shot from a Jeremie Frimpong cut-back to put Celtic in a great position.

Lille were very fortunate to get a penalty for a trip outside the penalty box by Shane Duffy but fortunately Bain’s right leg was able to block the spot-kick.

The French side stepped up their game after the break to score in the 67th and 75th minute but Celtic also created chances of their own and deserved to take a point from the match.
