Celtic moved a step closer to the group stages of the Europa League last night with a two nil win over AIK Stockholm.
Second half goals from James Forrest and Odsonne Edouard have put the Scottish Champions in a commanding position to make the group stages.
However manager Neil Lennon remains cautious about getting too far ahead of themselves: you never say that, we'll approach the second leg as professionally as we always though, we still have an important 90 minutes ahead of us and we can't take anything for granted".
🗣 “It was a great team performance. Some of the football we played was great and we scored fantastic goals.”
