Celtic return to Champions League group stages

By Ashley Williams



GLASGOW, SCOTLAND (TheSportsNext) August 30, 2012: Scottish soccer club Celtic qualified for the group stages of the Champions League tournament after a lapse of four years with an inspiring 2-0 home victory over Helsingborg to complete a 4-0 aggregate triumph on Wednesday.

 

Gary Hooper scored the first goal for the Celtic in the first half which was rather turned out to be a controversial effort but Celtic accepted it happily before Victor Wanyama sealed the victory with a late goal just a couple of minutes ahead of the final whistle to lift Scottish champions into the Champions League 2013.

Now the Celtic will go into Thursday's draw where they will get to know about their opponents in the Europe’s biggest soccer stage.

Celtic were already at advantage as they had defeated the same side in Sweden by 2-0 and Wednesday saw them winning by the same margin at Glasgow.
