London (PA Media\/dpa) \u2013 A second-half strike from Kyogo Furuhashi and a Balint Vecsei own goal gave Celtic 2-0 win over Ferencvaros on Tuesday and the first three points of their Europa League campaign.<\/p>\n
After Group G defeats to Real Betis and Bayer Leverkusen, there was some pressure on Ange Postecoglou\u2019s men but Japan international Furuhashi came up trumps in the 57th minute when he latched on to a searching pass from Jota and slotted past Denes Dibusz.<\/p>\n
The Ferencvaros goalkeeper saved a penalty from Hoops captain Callum McGregor moments later before David Turnbull\u2019s pressure forced Vecsei to turn a scrappy second into his own net from close range in the 81st minute sealed the deserved win.<\/p>\n
A 50,000-plus crowd witnessed the victory despite the unusual afternoon kick-off due to Champions League matches taking place later and Glasgow rivals Rangers playing at home on Thursday amid plans for the upcoming climate change conference in Glasgow.<\/p>\n
