Ferencvaros were well warned a fortnight ago in Glasgow- Celtic’s opening goal will be remembered long after their Europa League involvement is over.
Jota created some space, Kyogo Furuhashi sensed it, raced on to the perfect through ball then found the Ferencvaros net with his second touch.
Whichever of the four of five camera angles that you watch from it is a fantastic goal, great skill with an edge to give Celtic the lead at a crucial time in the match.
Last night in Hungary the two players didn’t directly combine but they were both on the scoresheet by the time Ferencvaros got back to their dressing room to discuss chasing shadows.

How will Celtic get on away to Bayer Leverkusen?
Away win- We've got Kyogo doing his thing
Take a draw then Real Betis in Matchday 5
We;ll lose- this is a step too far for us
With Kyogo restored to the side there is an extra edge and confidence to Celtic’s play, best illustrated in the third minute with the opening goal that sent Ferencvaros back on their heels.
Twenty minutes later Jota got in on the act, a driving run opened up the Ferencvaros defence and while his shot deflected in off the goalkeepers right-hand post it could have been heading for the opposite corner unaided.
Celtic fans love special strikers, specials scorers and partnerships with UEFA in on the act with the hoops being involved in more than four goals per game in their Europa League matches.
