Reo Hatate has doubled Celtic’s lead with a clever finish. Alistair Johnston’s lofted diagonal cross was knocked down by Daizen Maeda allowing his compatriot to fire the ball into the back of the net via the post.
Wonderful ball from Johnston is touched back by Maeda, and Hatate produces a delightful left-foot drive low into the net.

With much of the week occupied by news of Matt O’Riley’s £30m departure to Brighton; it was two of his long term midfield companions that have found the net for Celtic this afternoon.
Celtic have been dominant this afternoon, moving the ball around with real purpose. Brendan will be keen that his team can put the hosts to bed before focusing on next weekend’s Glasgow Derby.
