Commons: This beats beating Barca

Kris Commons claims Celtic’s dramatic late entry into the Champions League last night with their 3-0 win over Shakhter Karagandy at Parkhead was better than beating Barcelona last season.

The Hoops trailed 2-0 from the first leg of their play-off in Astana but were on track for a comeback when Commons’ 25-yard drive in first-half injury time gave the home side the interval lead.
