James Forrest's dramatic last minute goal against Shakhter will forever be remembered as one of the greatest goals ever scored in Europe by a Celtic player.
It meant that Celtic had managed to overcome a 2-0 deficit in their tie to triumph 3-2 and reach the lucrative Group Stages of the Champions League and avoid embarrassment for one of football's most fabled clubs.

31 October 2001, Celtic 4-3 Juventus
Celtic may have been out of contention in the Champions League but they wanted to bow out in style and they sure did that against Italian champions and heavyweights, Juventus in a thriller of a game - this was the first game of football I ever watched.
21 May 2003, UEFA Cup Final, Porto 3-2 Celtic
Celtic's first European final since 1970 was against Jose Mourinho's Porto and despite the superior skill and talent of the opposition, the Bhoys held their own and were 5 minutes away from penalties when heartbreak struck.
3 October 2007, Celtic 2-1 AC Milan
In a tough group featuring Milan, Barcelona and Shakhtar Donetsk, Celtic needed some big wins on the way and in their first home game of the season, they scored one of the most memorable wins in their recent history courtesy of Aussie Scott McDonald although it was marred by a fan apparently confronting Milan's keeper, Dida who fell over after that.
7 November 2012, Celtic 2-1 Barcelona
A fantastic win against one of world football's greatest ever sides including one of their greatest ever players. Teenager, Tony Watt had one of the moments of his life, scoring Celtic's late goal against Barcelona which sealed a famous win and helped Celtic on their way to the 2nd round of the Champions League.
And the greatest of them all..
