Celtic kicked off their Champions League marketing campaign with a 5-1 house thrashing of debutants Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday.

Celtic went forward after 17 minutes by way of Liam Scales’ highly effective close-range header from a nook, whereas Kyogo Furuhashi doubled their benefit two minutes after the break with a tap-in off Nicolas-Gerrit Kuehn’s cross.

Arne Engels made it 3-0 from the penalty spot following a Danylo Ihnatenko foul on Alistair Johnston within the 56th earlier than Kevin Wimmer pulled one again for the guests with an excellent volley into the far nook 5 minutes later.

Daizen Maeda restored Celtic’s three-goal benefit as he beat goalkeeper Dominik Takac from a move from fellow Japan worldwide Reo Hatate within the seventieth and substitute Adam Idah sealed the rout with a easy end three minutes from time.
