It wasn’t the convincing result many Celtic fans would have been hoping for going into tonight’s game, though they were undeniably the better side in Sarajevo and got the job down without giving up a clear-cut opportunity in 90 minutes.
It was a match of few stand-outs but also one where there weren’t too many poor performers either. All in all, solid is the word best used to describe the performance from Neil Lennon’s side.
This is how they rated.

1. Vasilis Barkas - 6
Only called into making a save once and then it was a fairly routine one at his front post. Did well at coming for crosses. Photo: Sanita Sparane - SNS Group
3. Shane Duffy - 7
Looked better at judging and deals with balls over the top and wasn't fazed by the pace of the Sarajevo attackers. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
4. Kristoffer Ajer - 6
Didn't contribute to the attack as much as he typically likes - though he did have a great chance at 0-0. Solid enough at the back. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
