GOAL hero Alan Thompson admitted that he miss-hit the strike that took Celtic to the top of Champions League Group E.

The former Wanderers favourite followed up his wonder goal against Rangers at Ibrox with a crisp left-foot free-kick from the edge of the area which left Rosenberg keeper Arni Arason rooted - or so everybody thought.

The English winger held his hands up after his winner took Celtic a point clear of Juventus on six points and admitted that he had intended to shoot into the opposite corner.

"I meant it," joked Thompson. "No, I was going for the other corner.

"But I think with the power I was trying to get on it, I just pulled it, but it went in and I'm just delighted it hit the back of the net."
