These Celtic fans are ecstatic as Hoops win in Lazio
There’s nothing quite like a big Celtic victory in Europe and whilst Celtic Park has hosted some amazing nights, it can be just that bit sweeter when the Hoops win away from home against a European giant.
Lazio may not be the same club that there were in years past, but going to play them at the Stadio Olimpico is never easy.
However, a late goal from Olivier Ntcham saw the Hoops record a famous 2-1 win in Rome, one that put them into the knockout stages of the Europa League and these fans took to Twitter to show their delight!
I LOVE THIS CLUB SO MUCH

Read Celtic Verdict
What a night! Neil Lennon’s men went into a tough environment and came away with three points and a place in the Europa League knockouts.
Does Olivier Ntcham deserve a statue at Celtic Park!?
Yes!
Definitely yes!
Whilst it would be preferable to win every game 5-0, there’s something oh so special about seeing your side score an injury-time winner and those Celtic fans who made the trip to Rome will never forget Ntcham’s goal for as long as they live.
Celtic’s record in European knockout games has been poor in recent years but the win away to Lazio should give Lennon and his players huge belief when they play their knockout tie after Christmas.
