CELTIC U19s got themselves off the mark in the Uefa Youth League following their 2-1 win over RB Leipzig this afternoon.
The result takes the young Hoops off the bottom of Group F as they leapfrogged the Germans to go into third.
Now sitting on three points, they are behind Shakhtar Donetsk in second and Real Madrid who are top of the pile, with both sides sitting on six and seven points respectively.
The group now emulates Celtic‘s Champions League Group F with all four teams occupying the same spot as their senior squads.
And the youth side’s win in Germany could inspire further Hoops heroics when Ange Postecoglou and co line up against the Bundesliga giants later today.
But in the earlier clash, it was Rocco Vata and Tsoanelo Letsosa who found the net to give the young Parkhead boys their 2-0 lead.
