Jo Inge Berget came back to haunt his old club Celtic, who will take a slender advantage to Malmo after a thrilling first leg between the two sides in Glasgow.

Celtic took a two-goal lead inside 10 minutes thanks to goals from Leigh Griffiths and Nir Biton, but Berget then pulled one back for Malmo.

Griffiths headed in his second to restore Celtic’s two-goal cushion, but Berget, who was on loan at Celtic from Cardiff last year, struck deep into stoppage time to make it 3-2 to the hosts.

Elsewhere, Eran Zahavi scored in the sixth minute added on to give Maccabi Tel Aviv a 2-2 draw at Basel. Zahavi put Maccabi ahead in the first half, but Matias Delgado was on hand to level from the spot.

The Swiss looked to have claimed victory when Breel Embolo made it 2-1 in the 88th minute, but deep into injury time skipper Zahavi headed home to give his team a second valuable away goal.

Dinamo Zagreb had to come from behind to claim a 2-1 victory at the home of Albanian underdogs Skenderbeu Korce. 

Skenderbeu, who are looking to become the first Albanian side to reach the Champions League group stages, took the lead through captain Blendi Shkembi, who curled in a stunning free-kick from the edge of the box.

But the visitors equalised through El Arabi Hilal Soudani and then sealed victory thanks to a second-half stoppage-time winner from Josip Pivaric.

Shakhtar Donetsk put themselves on track for a sixth-successive Champions League group stage appearance thanks to a 1-0 win at Rapid Vienna in yesterday’s other fixture. Brazilian midfielder Marlos scored the only goal of the game in the 44th minute.
