Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths ranked his comeback goal alongside his double against England after marking his first start in eight months with a brilliant 30-yard free-kick.

The 28-year-old found the top corner in first-half stoppage-time as Celtic eased past Estonians Nomme Kalju 5-0 in the first leg of the Champions League second qualifying round.

Griffiths rejoined his team-mates at the start of pre-season after taking time off from football in December to deal with personal issues and battle depression.

And the Scotland international admitted being close to tears after punching the corner flag in celebration and sinking to his knees following his strike in first-half stoppage-time.

"That's up there with the England moments if I'm honest," he said. "Right at the very top.

"Words can't actually describe how good a feeling that was when the ball hit the back of the net.

"I had a great feeling as soon as it left my foot, as soon as it went over the wall. Absolutely delighted.

"It was a brilliant performance," said Lennon, who revealed Boli Bolingoli had gone off through illness.

"It took a little bit of time to get going but once we got the goal, then we really upped the tempo.

"It puts a real marker down and we are still a work in progress."
