All in all it was a great night for Celtic on Thursday.
Not only did they qualify for the next stage of the Europa League, they were also able to beat Utrecht 4-2.
That could have been in doubt when the Hoops’ 3-0 lead was cut down to 3-2 but, in the end, they held firm and did enough to pick up the three points.
Celtic made history with those three goals by scoring them all inside the first 20 minutes and were rewarded with a two-legged play-off against either Stuttgart or Ferencvaros.
It was refreshing to see so many impressive performances in the green and white shirt, however, there was an opposition star that looked the part and should be one to consider for a future move.

Should the Hoops make a late move for Adrian Blake in this transfer window?
He was the standout against Celtic
Adrian Blake was the star of the show for Utrecht
Utrecht have struggled in recent weeks and are low on confidence, unless your name is Adrian Blake.
Born in England, the Watford youngster swapped England for the Netherlands and has been a regular this campaign with 30 appearances.
His goal was the standout of the night, even if Kasper Schmeichel gave it a helping hand on the way in as he took the first touch in his stride before unleashing his effort from the edge of the box.
Blake was the best player on the park, as per Sofascore, and looks like a real talent.
Adrian Blake is what Celtic need
Although he is traditionally a left winger, the 20-year-old proved that he can also operate on the right.
Kieran Tierney had to really step up his game to try and deal with him as he constantly looked to drive down the line to make things happen.
Benjamin Nygren was the standout player, but who else impressed for Celtic?
Tell us who you thought impressed?
Martin O’Neill wants a winger and Blake fits the profile of what Celtic fans want to see. He is young, full of energy and has experience of playing on the European stage.
It seems like a no-brainer. Do you agree?
