Celtic 2-2 Fenerbahce: Fernandao brace rescues draw

The Brazilian was the visitors' hero after coming off the bench and salvaging a point for his side.

Fenerbache will be relieved that a brace from substitute Fernandao allowed it to leave Celtic with a 2-2 draw Thursday.

The Scottish champions had raced into a two-goal lead, with Leigh Griffiths opening the scoring from a corner before Kris Commons doubled the advantage just minutes later.

Fenerbache had lined up with ex-Manchester United duo Robin van Persie and Nani, but it was instead the substitute Fernandao who proved their savior with two goals to restore parity.
