Review

Celtic capped a good team performance with some excellent finishing.
The first goal was a classic punch with Joe Filippi racing down to accept a ball from Lennox and crossing for Nicholas to wallop home. The second goal came from Vic Davidson's header off a Johnny Doyle free kick. Bobby Lennox capped it with the third accepting a Nicholas past and ghosting through Clyde to place a great shot past ex-Celt Connaghan.
