Josip Juranovic continues post-Celtic success as he provides another assist as Union chase Bayern Munich

Josip Juranovic has picked up right where he left off when he exited Celtic at new club Union Berlin.

And the Bundesliga side are absolutely flying in Germany, so much so the Croatian's new team are just ONE point off imperious Bayern Munich and through to the last eight of the DFB-Pokal cup. The 27-year-old called time on a hugely successful 18 month spell in Glasgow sealing a move to the German capital worth a reported £10m to his former club.

The popular ex-Parkhead defender was in amongst the action from the off on his debut last week with an assist, before playing vital roles in a win over rivals Hertha and now was providing an assist again in Berlin. Union had to fight back from being one nil down to Wolfsburg to seal progression in a dramatic tie.

But Juranovic produced a stunning cross to allow Robin Knoche to level the game after 12 minutes. So much so the game's commentator couldn't quite believe the assist. He cried: "Josip Juranovic - who has a great cross on him - and that IS a great cross"

Union now face Mainz at home on Saturday and remain just one point behind Bayern in the table.
