Chris Sutton posted on Twitter his thoughts after the Celtic draw against Rosenborg.
Celtic recorded a goalless draw with Norwegian side Rosenborg on Thursday night to qualify from the Champions League second qualifying round.
The Scottish giants were not at their sparkling best in the 0-0 away draw, but a 3-1 victory from the first leg ensured their adventure in Europe’s elite club competition continued.
Brendan Rodgers’ side had to survive some nervous moments in the first half and will now face AEK Athens in the next set of Champions League qualifiers.
Pundit and ex-Celtic striker Chris Sutton praised his former side on social media after their mid-week victory, but did claim the jury is still out on defensive pair Jack Hendry and Kristoffer Ajer.
“Well done to Celtic. Not vintage by any means but stuck to the task well… Jury still out for me on Hendry and Ajer but fair play to them second half they defended strongly.. these ties aren’t easy,” Sutton wrote on his personal Twitter account.
Ajer and Henry formed the centre-back partnership for the Bhoys in their Champions League match, managing to keep a clean sheet after a testing night against Rosenborg.
Ajer, 20, is a ball-playing centre-back who will hope he is in for a big season at Parkhead and will be looking to cement his starting XI position.
Meanwhile, 23-year-old Hendry has started all four Champions League qualifiers to date this season and is a highly-rated defender.
