Video: Brilliant In Brussels, Five Years Ago Today

It is hard to believe that five years have elapsed since Celtic dismantled Anderlecht in the UEFA Champions League, with a stunning 3-0 win away from home.

“Brilliant in Brussels” was the cry from the commentator as Leigh Griffiths put the Hoops ahead. Who could have predicted he would be plying his trade at semi professional level today?

Patrick Roberts made it two in the second half with a neat bit of play before Scott Sinclair completed the scoring, finishing with aplomb.

The famous European away support were given a night to remember, after enduring so many disappointments on the road.

What a night!
