Celtic hero Neil Lennon has new club Omonia Nicosia on the verge of the Europa League group stage after a stunning 2-0 win in Belgium over KAA Gent.
The former Hoops boss and his new side have a second leg meeting this coming Thursday as they stand just 90 minutes away from a place in the tournament proper and a place in Friday's draw. Two familiar faces to Scottish football fans were on show for Lennon's troops with former Celtic man Adam Matthews starting the game with ex- Rangers and Hibs attacker Brandon Barker named on the bench.
It was the latter who would have a huge say in the first meeting as he came on to score a wonderful second goal for his new club to take a huge advantage into this week's return. The 25-year-old was on hand to get on the end of knock down and fire a half-volley into the top corner of the net to spark wild scenes amongst the travelling away fans in the corner of the stand.
