The result puts the Belgian club in a strong position as they head back home for the second leg in a week’s time.

Meanwhile Tom Rogic was absent as Celtic slumped to a 2-0 loss to Valencia at Celtic Park, putting their hopes of progression into the Round of 16 in jeopardy.

The Caltex Socceroos playmaker is still a month away from returning as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.
