Chris Sutton reacts to Celtic’s victory over FK Sarajevo

Celtic overcame an early scare to secure a 3-1 win over FK Sarajevo in the first leg of their Champions League qualifying first round.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina side took a shock lead through Mirko Oremus in the 28th minute after the visitors failed to defend a corner, but it took Celtic just seven minutes to restore parity as Mikey Johnston hammered in a shot from 22 yards.

Odsonne Edouard and Scott Sinclair secured the Hoops a valuable victory in the second-half with goals in the 50th and 85th minute respectively, and manager Neil Lennon can look forward to next Wednesday’s return-leg in positive mood following the solid comeback.
