VIDEO: Callum McGregor's placed shot gives Celtic lead over Ajax

Manager Ronny Deila is a man under pressure at Celtic, but his midfielder Callum McGregor briefly offered the Norwegian a little job security.

The 22-year-old received the ball in just the third minute of Thursday's Europa League tie against Ajax, and punished the away side's inability to close him down properly. Just a slight shimmy was enough to buy an extra yard or two and bury the ball beyond a helpless Jasper Cillessen in a must-win match for his team.

Celtic's lead lasted just 18 minutes though, with Arkadiusz Milik finishing off a scrappy exchange to level things up in the clubs' penultimate match of the group stages.
