Celtic midfielder scored a spectacular goal from range to bring Israel level against Cyprus.

Celtic's Nir Bitton scored a stunning long-range effort for Israel against Cyprus in Euro 2016 qualification.

The 23-year-old's thunderous drive flew beyond Cyprus stopper Antonis Georgallides to draw Israel level in crucial their Group B clash in Jerusalem.

His effort, though, failed to spark a full revival as the Cypriots claimed a shock victory, a victory which sealed Wales' passage to Euro 2016.

Defeat for Israel means they now face a battle with Bosnia & Herzegovina for the final play-off spot in the group. They will be hoping for Bitton to replicate his effort when they travel to Belgium in their final qualification game on Tuesday.
