Nicolas Kuhn appeared to have fired Celtic into a rapid lead against Bayern Munich in the Champions League but for an offside flag.
The winger smashed a shot past Manuel Neuer with just 26 seconds on the clock at Celtic Park to spark jubilant celebrations.
However, they were cut short as an offside flag saw the strike ruled out with the scores remaining level.

Replays showed Adam Idah leap out of the way of the ball before it nestled in the net.
The striker did not get a touch on the ball but is viewed to have impacted play and the goalkeeper while being in an offside position.
Gutted former Celtic keeper Joe Hart admitted the goal was correctly chopped off as he offered his verdict from a goalkeeper's perspective.

Hart saidon co-commentary: "No, no, no, no, no!
"When he cut in I wasn't sure but the celebrations carried on.
"But Idah is definitely offside and he is definitely impeding Manuel Neuer, he has to hold his dive.
"Unfortunately, my goalkeeping union hat is stronger tonight.
"What a start that could have been."
