Review
Celtic seemed to have one eye on Real Madrid during this game. Aitken was suspended and his drive in midfield was badly missed.
Celtic scored when Lennox anticipated Baines' throw out and passed to Doyle who scored with a first time shot.
Morton piled the pressure on and a mixture of good goalkeeping by Latchford and good luck gave Celts both points.
