The Scots made hard work of their tie in Israel and were one goal from elimination after a nightmare start to the match, but they held on to progress
A first-half penalty save from Craig Gordon proved crucial as Celtic qualified for the group stage of the Champions League for the first time in three seasons despite losing 2-0 to Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
Brendan Rodgers' side edged the qualifying play-off 5-4 on aggregate having won last week's first leg 5-2.
But they made it hard for themselves with a dismal display at Turner Stadium and would have been eliminated had Craig Gordon not saved Mahadan Radi's first-half penalty.
