Ronny Deila's competitive debut as Celtic boss began with a narrow 1-0 win in the first leg of their Champions League second round qualifier against KR Reykjavik last night.

Debutant Callum McGregor netted in the 84th minute after the Glasgow side has dominated the game, hitting the woodwork three times.

Around 200 Celtic fans, among the 1,500 capacity crowd at the KR-vollur stadium, saw Kris Commons hit the bar in the first half and Leigh Griffiths and Teemu Pukki also hit the woodwork in the second half.

21-year-old McGregor finally made the breakthrough in his first competitive start for the Hoops, drilling a shot low past goalkeeper Stefan Magnusson.

The return leg takes place at Murrayfield in Edinburgh next Tuesday night, with Celtic Park out of commission due to the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
