Michael Stewart was thrilled by the levels of energy that Celtic showed in the 2-0 win over Cluj.

There was no let up for the Romanian champions as Celtic attacked with pace and aggression, controlled the tempo in midfield and gave little away at the back.

With the rain pouring down in the east end of Glasgow the conditions were perfect for the hoops as they took control of the match, and Group E, with a performance that impressed Stewart as he explained in the BBC website:

The standout thing I take from this win for Celtic was that their energy levels were through the roof. Such a dominant performance and they convincingly put Cluj to the sword. Seeing that you wonder how they lost to them the last time and it shows the improvement since August

Christopher Jullien missed with a couple of early headers but in the 20th minute fellow Frenchman Odsonne Edouard found the net when Boli Bolingoli cut the ball back from the bye-line after 20 minutes.

Mo Elyounoussi repaid Neil Lennon’s faith just before the hour mark, winning possession midway inside his own half, powering forward to exchange passes with James Forrest then send the ball into the net via a Romanian thigh.

With the players matching the energy of the support the countdown is well underway for the visit of Lazio later this month.
