Celtic are in the next round of the Europa League after beating Utrecht.
Martin O’Neill led out a Hoops side at Celtic Park in a European competition for the first time since 2004.
It looked like a comfortable victory at one stage as Celtic raced into a 3-0 lead before two goals from the opposition had hearts in mouths.
Auston Trusty made sure of the win with a header and the Hoops will now face either Stuttgart or Ferencvaros in the play-off stage.
That is the most important part of Thursday’s win, but it didn’t stop them from making history in Europe.

That prize goes to a Champions League qualifier in 2000, when they beat Suduva in a UEFA Cup qualifier.
No surprise that once again, it was O’Neill in charge of that game as Celtic’s dominance made them no match at all for the Lithuanian outfit.
