Celtic brushed aside the Boli Bolingoli blues to crush KR Reykjavik 6-0 to advance to the Second Qualifying Round of the Champions League.
Neil Lennon’s side will face Djugarden or Ferencvaros at home next week with the Icelandic champions putting up next to no resistance to Neil Lennon’s side.
Moi Elyounoussi got in behind the KR defence to open the scoring, taming a pass from Chris Jullien to take the ball wide of the keeper then roll the ball into the net.
In the 17th minute Odsonne Edouard panicked Arnor Aoalsteinsson into putting the ball past his own keeper from a low James Forrest cross.
Just past the half hour mark Jullien rose perfectly to meet a corner from Ryan Christie with his firm header flying into the net.
Within a minute of the restart quick passing opened up the KR defence with Greg Taylor heading in his first Celtic goal from an Elhamed cross
Just after the hour mark Olivier Ntcham replaced Scott Brown, in the 71st minute Edouard signed off a great solo goal before being replaced by Albian Ajeti.
Two minutes from the end Elyounoussi slid in the final goal of the night from a brilliant pass by Ntcham.
