Overview

  • Benjamin Nygren struck twice after the break and substitute Johnny Kenny added a late third for his first goal at Celtic Park.
  • Celtic have opened their Premiership campaign with three straight victories without conceding a goal.
  • Brendan Rodgers retained only Kasper Schmeichel, Liam Scales and Nygren from the midweek lineup, handing a debut to Hayato Inamura and a first start to Shin Yamada.
  • The Green Brigade led 'sack the board' chants and displayed banners accusing the hierarchy of 'zero ambition', with limited vocal backing from the wider crowd.
  • Next is Tuesday's play-off second leg at Kairat in Kazakhstan, a tie reported to be worth about £40m to the winners, before the season's first Old Firm meeting.
