Celtic are into the third round of qualifying for the Champions League after a 0-0 draw away at Rosenborg on Wednesday night.

The Bhoys had beaten the Norwegian side 3-1 in the first leg in Glasgow last week, with a brace from Odsonne Edouard and a goal from Olivier Ntcham cancelling out Birger Meling’s opener.

Celtic therefore travelled to Trondheim with one foot in the next round, and Brendan Rodgers’ side managed to get the job done at the Lerkendal Stadion.

After a poor first half showing, Celtic were strong in the second period, and managed to claim a 0-0 draw, sending them through with a 3-1 aggregate win whilst setting up a third round clash with AEK Athens.

Celtic are moving closer and closer to the Champions League group stage, and the performance of defender Jack Hendry divided opinion on Wednesday night.

The 23-year-old, snapped up from Dundee in January, has enjoyed a meteoric rise having been released by Wigan Athletic last summer, and some think his key role in the Celtic defence has ultimately come too soon for him.

Some Bhoys fans took to Twitter to criticise Hendry, suggesting that his decision making isn’t good enough and Dedryck Boyata needs to be brought back in as soon as possible, highlighting that he can’t be treated like a kid anymore and is out of his depth right now.

Others felt Hendry enjoyed a strong performance and continues to show promise, noting that he grew into the game as the Scot continues to divide opinion among Bhoys fans, with one fan claiming he ‘won everything’.
