Celtic will take a narrow lead to Sweden next Tuesday after a 3-2 win over Malmo in a dramatic Champions League play-off at Parkhead.

Ronny Deila's men made a dream start in their quest to reach the group stage, with Leigh Griffiths and Nir Bitton scoring in the opening 10 minutes.

Former Celtic player Jo Inge Berget pulled one back early in the second half but Griffiths restored the two-goal advantage in 62 minutes with a header that looped in off the post.

But, in the fifth minute of stoppage time, Berget smashed the ball high into the net following a corner to leave the tie in the balance.
