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.

Was frustrated for a lot of the game. However, he had a few lovely touches and bits of skill and got the all-important goal. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
10. Mohamed Elyounoussi - 6
Had a few efforts around the fringes of the box and was unlucky that, while on target, they were right at the keeper. A little quiet at times. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
11. Greg Taylor - 6
Made some great runs off the ball and continually bombed up and down the wing but the final ball was lacking. Photo: SNS Group
12. Hatem Abd Elhamed - 5
Hasn't quite got going this season. Didn't look anywhere near as comfortable as his countryman Nir Bitton after replacing him on 10 minutes. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
