Away goal gives Celtic edge

Maribor 1 Celtic 1

Celtic will also be boosted by the fact that, for the second leg, they will be able to host European football for the first time this season at Celtic Park, after they had been obliged to temporarily vacate their home to facilitate the Commonwealth Games.

Ronny Deila’s side got off to the best possible start last night when they took the lead after just six minutes, Callum McGregor on hand to capitalise on the rebound after Maribor keeper Jasmin Handovic could only parry Jo Inge Beret’s shot.
