Brattbakk scored two goals to make up for his horror misses in the previous pre-season loss to Hollandia. Barry Elliot also scored a brace and given his freshness it was hoped that he would come through the ranks and establish himself this season.
Brattbakk set up the opener for Elliot on 14 minutes sliding te ball across the face of the goal to unmarked Jamie Smith who laid it back to Elliot to score with an easy tap in.
On 32 minutes the roles were reversed with Elliot finding Brattbakk with a long pass, alloewing the Norwegain to side step his marker and head on a 30 yard run before firing high into the top right corner of the goal.
ASWH made five changes at half time, all of whom appeared to be inferior players to those they replaced.
With just four minutes gone in the second hald Celtic went further ahead when Elliot was felled in the penalty area by Dorst. tubbs tucked the spot kick away neatly.
Brattbakk got his second of the game after 55 minutes when he prodded home a John Paul McBride shot which had rattled off the bar and two minutes later Elliot also got his second when Smith crossed from the right and Elliot stole in between two defenders to head home.
The Dutch amateurs goal came from te penalty spot when Gould upended te striker and Paul Koster stepped up to score.
