Mikael Lustig has said that Celtic are the "better team" following their first-leg win in the Champions League tie against Qarabag FK.

The Scottish champions will take a 1-0 advantage into the second leg of the qualification tie.

The defender told the Glasgow Evening Times: "We didn't create as many chances as we wanted but it was a really important goal and it was good to have a clean sheet.

"We are the better team. We had a lot of the ball but we didn't create so much. Against this team we should try to bomb on and get crosses and corners in because we are a lot bigger than them but hopefully we can do that over there.

"We watched videos and at home both their left and right-back sit really high."

Celtic will progress to the playoff round if they beat Qarabag, leaving them just one round off a spot in the group stage.
