Martin O'Neill's inspired substitutions saw Celtic come from behind to breathe life into their Europa League campaign with a much-needed 3-2 home victory over Besiktas.
Junior Olaitan's goal - a rebound after Sam Johnstone saved his penalty - looked like condemning Celtic to a fifth consecutive European defeat for the first time in the club's history.
But the introduction of Callum Osmand, Camilo Duran and Colby Donovan just after the hour was a masterstroke from O'Neill. Osmand fired in the equaliser with his first touch before setting up Duran to round the goalkeeper and put the Hoops ahead.
