Albian Ajeti was on target once again for Sturm Graz as the Celtic man came out on top of a five-goal thriller.
The Hoops - who shelled out a reported £5million for the Switzerland international from West Ham during Neil Lennon's time at the club - loaned the hitman out for the campaign with him well down the pecking order in Ange Postecoglou's side.
He notched his first league strike at the start of the month against Austria Vienna and he has now doubled his tally for the campaign after hitting his side's third in their 3-2 win over Wolfsberger AC. The visitors took the lead just before the half hour mark in the first period by Ajeti and Co fired three goals in six second half minutes to turn the game around. Thorsten Rocher struck in the 90th minute to set up a nervy end but Sturm Graz held on to claim all three points. It keeps the home side just two points off the pace at the top of the table behind RB Salzburg.

A cushion of five points to third place LASK has opened up in the domestic league. The win comes off the back of a Europa League draw away at Lazio with qualification hopes for the Celtic flop to the knockout stages firmly alive.
They are bottom of Group F after four games but all four teams in the section - Feyenoord, Midtjylland, Lazio and Sturm Graz - all sit on five points in the closest group of the lot.
Two games are left to play with qualification to the next stage still up for grabs for all the teams involved.
Next up is Grazer AK in the Austrian Cup last 16 this midweek before a huge top of the table clash away at RB Salzburg. It's then Feyenoord at home with the massive occasions continuing to come at a fast rate for Hoops man Ajeti.
