Josip Juranovic scores stunning Europa League free-kick as former Celtic man shines in crunch tie

Josip Juranovic has scored a stunning free-kick in the Europa League for new club Union Berlin.

The former Celtic defender has been in dreamland since making the switch to the German capital in January, in a deal that netted the Hoops a reported £10million package. The Croatian has been on fine form since, providing assists and scoring goals for Die Eisernen, and now the Bundesliga side are rocking in European competition.

Juranovic, who has a penchant for a goal from dead ball situations, found a great way to get his back in the game on Thursday. The ex-Parkhead man whipped in a beauty of a free-kick to send the crowd wild and draw the tie level at 1-1.

The Union side face off with Union Saint Gilloise, a side who Rangers faced in the Champions League this season, for a place in the next round of the prestigious competition.

The 27-year-old spoke this week of his love for his time in Glasgow, he said: "They are unbelievable like sixty thousand people each game [Celtic fans]. It doesn't matter if we played seven in the morning or seven at night. They're always cheering. It was maybe the best time of my life.

"I can say that proudly. I met some of my really good friends there. I'm still following them."
