Quick Review
Surprisingly easy victory for the Celts, with three goal win and two shots off the post, all by different players. Entertaining and flowing, plaudits all round, but for most McGeady (again) and Donatti were the stars of the show. Dodgey defending still at times, but Hinkel has settled in quickly and scored his first goal for us too!

Onwards now to Champions League game on Wednesday v Barcelona!

Trivia

• Hinkel scored his first goal for us.
• Starting game for Hutchison.
