Celtic would have been expected to comfortably navigate past Rosenborg after Dundalk pushed them all the way in the previous round, but the tie proved to be anything but as the side from Trondheim managed to stifle Rodgers' men back in Glasgow.
The return leg was always going to be a nervy affair, and after half-time came and went that pressure was ramped up in the second as both sides went in search of that vital goal.
Shortly after the hour mark, it was Celtic's James Forrest who came up with the goods after he was played through by Scott Sinclair.
The former Swansea and Chelsea man really has been such a good signing for Celtic.
But it was Forrest who applied the finishing touch, and that was enough to secure the Scottish champions' safe passage to the final round of Champions League qualification.
He may not be the most consistent player Brendan Rodgers has at his disposal, but he tends to pop up when his team really need it.
