Quick Review
In this, the opening game, it took Chelsea just 22 minutes to take the lead, when Smertin smashed the ball past Magnus Hedman, having been put clear by Adrian Mutu.
Beattie equalised five minutes later, finding the gap under goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini with a low shot.
Gudjohnsen took just five minutes after the restart to put his side ahead, finding the top-left corner of the Celtic net.
Kezman's first goal came in the 53rd minute when he beat Hedman having been sent goal-bound by Gudjohnsen's volley.
Beattie added a second for Celtic, heading home a rebound from Bobby Petta's 68th-minute cross.
But Kezman got his second courtesy of a telling ball by defender Glen Johnson.
