Celtic win comfortably after early scare in Sarajevo

The Scottish champions struggled in sodden conditions early on as Mirko Oremus slotted home after a goalmouth scramble to give the hosts a shock lead just before the half-hour mark.
However, Mikey Johnston's fine strike from outside the box quickly drew Celtic level, and the visitors took control after the break.
Odsonne Edouard's composed finish made it 2-1 six minutes after the restart and substitute Scott Sinclair struck five minutes from time to as good as put the tie beyond Sarajevo.
The sides will meet again in Glasgow for the second leg next week, but Celtic look set to overcome the first of four qualifiers that stand between them at the riches of a return to the group stages.
