A header from Scott Sinclair gave Celtic a 1-0 win against Rosenborg in the Europa League on Thursday, and put them within a point of the last 32
Sinclair headed home from a wonderful James Forrest cross in the 42nd minute and it proved to be enough for Celtic to take a vital three points, winning their first ever away game in the Europa League after 17 attempts in its current guise
With Red Ball Salzburg also beating RB Leipzig 1-0 in Group B's other game, Celtic now need a point against Salzburg in two weeks' time to go through to the knockout rounds along with the Austrians
Rosenborg - who won their 26th Norwegian league title at the weekend - exit the competition without yet registering a point and with one game to play against Leipzig
Celtic began the game well, with Kieran Tierney's cross just evading the incoming Tom Rogic at the far post inside six minutes, but it took slightly longer to test goalkeeper Andre Hansen
 It was Rogic who was involved again in the 24th minute as Odsonne Edouard put a Forrest cross into his path, but Hansen got down low to push it away
Rosenborg's best chance of the half came soon after as Yann-Erik de Lanlay muscled Sinclair off the ball before striding into the area
 He fizzed a cross into the six-yard box but Nicklas Bendtner was unable to reach it at the back post
Celtic went close again just after the hour mark as Forrest drove into the area before striking, but Hansen made himself big at the near post to push the ball behind for a corner
And it was Forrest who had a big hand in the equaliser with three minutes of the first half to play
 He bamboozled Tore Reginiussen over on the right-hand side of the box before lofting a cross towards the back post, where an unmarked Sinclair deservedly gave Celtic a half-time lead
There were fewer chances in the second half, although Rosenborg should have had a man sent off in the 58th minute
 Djordje Denic - who came on as a substitute at the end of the first half - clipped the feet of Tierney, having already been booked for an earlier foul on Forrest
 However, he was let off with a warning from the referee
The final 15 minutes saw a flurry of chances for Rosenborg
 Some good defending from Forrest saw a Bendtner cross put out ahead of Matt Vilhjalmsson before headers from Reginiussen and Samuel Adegbenro also went wide
But Celtic managed to keep their concentration and claim an important victory to see them on the cusp of the Europa League knockout rounds as well as making some history in the process
It was another sparkling performance from the winger, with the Rosenborg defenders often unable to stop him without committing a foul
 He produced an absolutely sublime cross for the opening goal and also put a shift in at the back which was much needed at times
He now has eight goals and two assists in his last nine games for club and country with the 27-year-old truly showing his talent
It's a huge game for Celtic on Sunday as they take on Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup final at Hampden Park
 Their final Europa League fixture will be on Thursday, December 13 when they host FC Salzburg
