The veteran Danish goalkeeper was awarded UEFA's Player of the Match award for his performance, although, in the end, his saves weren't enough to steer Celtic into the last 16 of the Champions League.
They will now turn their attention back to domestic action, with two trophies still to compete for before the season's end.
