CELTIC picked up their first Europa League win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Hungarian side Ferencvaros.
David Turnbull secured the win with one of the scrappiest goals you’re ever likely to see.
Kyogo Furuhashi gave the Scottish club the lead after 57 minutes, finishing off a sumptuous piece of play.
Jota Filipe played a sensational direct pass through to the Japanese forward and he made no mistake from inside the penalty area.
Ange Postecoglou’s team doubled their advantage nine minutes from time – but Turnbull will be relieved his blushes were spared.
The midfielder was found just eight yards out but fluffed his lines, completely missing the ball as it ricocheted off his standing foot.
Fortunately, the Scot had the awareness to slide in to try and recover the ball.
The desperate attempt then resulted in the ball ending up in the back of the net as it cannoned in off the leg of the outstretched Balint Vecsei as it went down as an own goal.
The win moves Celtic off the bottom of Group G as they leapfrog Ferencvaros into third.
Postecoglu’s men were beaten 4-3 by Real Betis in a thrilling Europa League opener in September.
And two weeks later they were then comprehensively outplayed by Bayer Leverkusen, losing 4-0 in front of their own fans.

So the victory was a much-needed one for Celtic as they kept their European hopes alive.
It comes during a desperate struggle in the Scottish Premiership where they currently sit fourth.
They have already lost three out of nine league games so far this season and are four points adrift of defending champions Rangers at the top.
