Lennon hails brilliant Forster

Helsingborg 0 Celtic 2

Forster kept an invaluable clean sheet, despite Celtic being on the back foot for long periods, as they snatched a 2-0 win away to Swedish champions Helsingborg in the first leg of their qualifying play-off.

Kris Commons’ well-struck volley after two minutes gave the Hoops an early advantage they clung on to, thanks largely to Forster, before Georgios Samaras doubled their lead with 15 minutes left.
