Kieran Tierney joins Celtic duo and Umar Sadiq as UEFA name Europa League team of the week

Celtic pair Boli Bolingoli and Mohamed Elyounoussi have been named in the Europa League team of the week.

They're paired alongside former Hoops left back Kieran Tierney as well as Rangers flop Umar Sadiq.

Bolingoli set up the opening goal of the game and was a key player for Celtic against Cluj while Elyounoussi grabbed the clincher late on.

Bolingoli features as a right back in the team with Tierney's first 90 minutes for Arsenal having him on the left hand side.

The 22-year-old grabbed an assist with Gunners forward Gabriel Martinelli also included.

The biggest shock in the team will be the selection of Sadiq. The Nigerian had a disastrous six months at Ibrox but appears to be turning his career around in Serbia.

He grabbed a double during Partizan Belgrade's 2-1 win over Astana.

None of Celtic or Rangers' opponents were included in the team. After the first round of fixtures, Rangers left back Borna Barisic was included.

The full team is: Iliev, Bolingoli, Forster, N'Dicka, Tierney, Elyounoussi, Dani Quintana, Bruno Fernandes, Martinelli, Malen, Sadiq.
