Watch the Nygren goal that secured Celtic victory over Feyenoord

Celtic secured a rare victory away in Europe tonight- winning 3-1 against Feyenoord in Rotterdam.

BACK IN CONTENTION

With seven points from five matches the hoops are firmly in contention to progress to the knock-out stage.

It looked like a familiar story when Feyenoord opened the scoring in the 11th minute when Ueda took advantage of gaps in the Celtic defence.

Against Midtjylland earlier this month Celtic crumbled after going behind. Losing three goals in a 12 minute spell. There was no danger of that tonight.

Celtic proceeded to turn in their best performance of the season. Unrecognisable from the side that laboured to a1-0 win away to St Mirren on Saturday.

There’s no stopping that! ?

Reo Hatate turned in a man-of-the-match performance. Providing an assist in the equaliser then putting the hoops ahead before the break.

HATATE MAGIC

Yang Hyun-jun drew Celtic level in the31st minute after Luke McCowan and Hatate had opened up the Feyenoord defence.

Two minutes before the break Daizen Maeda forced the Feyenoord ‘keeper into a rushed clearance.

The ball fell to Hatate 22 yards from goal with the midfielder making no mistake.

Celtic started the second half dominating possession but fell out of it with Feyenoord coming close to an equaliser during a sustained period of pressure.

In the 82nd minute Celtic secured the points. Callum McGregor sent Colby Donovan racing down the right. His ball into the box was met by Maeda who laid it into the path of substitute Ben Nygren who hammered the ball high into the net.

In two weeks time the hoops host Roma in the Europa League but before then there are three huge SPFL matches. Martin O’Neill is expected to step down after Sunday’s match away to Hibs.
