Agnew delighted with Celtic's first-leg win

Murphy Agnew says Celtic's first-leg victory over Vorskla Poltava on Sunday gives them even more motivation to progress to the Champions League group stage.

Elena Sadiku's side face the Ukrainian side again in Airdrie on Thursday night after winning 1-0 thanks to Agnew's early goal. The winner of the tie progresses to the group stage.

"It's exactly what we wanted to do," the forward told CelticTV.

"We wanted to win this game to go into the next one with a victory. It gives us a really good leg up going into the next game.

"Thursday will be another really good game, if we win we'll do something we've never done before so that's more motivation."
