Odsonne Edouard scored twice as Celtic fought back from behind to beat Rosenborg in the Champions League second qualifying round.

Celtic took an important step in their Champions League qualification after coming back from behind to beat Norwegian side Rosenborg BK at Celtic Park. 

Birger Meling stunned the home-crowd by putting the visitors ahead early on, however normality was soon restored after Celtic levelled the scores just before the interval thanks to Odsonne Edouard.

Olivier Ntcham gave Brendan Rodgers' men the lead immediately after the break, and Edouard bagged his second late on as Celtic put on foot into the next round.

Despite the loss of an away goal, it gives Celtic a two-goal cushion to defend in the Norway in the second leg next week.
