Celtic have the advantage after the first leg of their Champions League play-off - but only just.

The Hoops won 3-2 at home to Swedish team Malmo, with the visitors getting what could be a crucial second away goal in the 95th minute.

Celtic had raced into an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Leigh Griffiths and Nir Bitton, before Jo Inge Berget pulled one back for Malmo.

However, Griffiths struck again on the hour mark to stretch Celtic's lead. But Malmo kept themselves alive in the tie when Berget scored again deep into stoppage time.

The return game takes place on Tuesday.
