Wanderers earn Red Star praise

The Red Star coach took time out after seeing his side go down 1-0 to applaud their opponents, who had Gavin McCann to thank for their winner.
"Bolton have a good chance of doing well in this competition. They are a fine team and are very well organised," Jankovic said. "We started well, but did not take our chances. Then it was difficult for us in the second half."
It was a marvellous - if unexpected - victory for Bolton given that manager Gary Megson had opted to rest most of his key players with a crucial league match to come against Wigan on Sunday.
They now find themselves top of the group on six points after their final match, but while they are favourites to progress the situation remains complex.
Bolton could be joined on six points by Bayern Munich, Braga and Aris who all play their final games next week.
While Megson was delighted as his side won in Belgrade and took a point off Bayern in Germany, he fears the home draws against Braga and Aris may yet cost his side dear.
The Bolton boss said: "We have done what we have had to do against Red Star.
"If we do not progress it will be down to our home results. They have put us in a tenuous position."
