The game interests two Scottish teams with the winners to meet either Celtic or FC Midtjylland in the Champions League third qualifying round. An Eran Zahavi hat-trick and Mario Goetze double placed the Dutch side in pole position to progress.

That means St Johnstone could be heading to Istanbul next month, unless the Turkish side can perform an unlikely turnaround in the second leg at the Turk-Telekom Stadium next week.
