Quick Review
Liverpool, with Milan Baros playing alongside Owen, dominated from the start. Celtic keeper Marshall, just 19, fumbled an Owen cross and it bounced off Ulrik Laursen's feet to Harry Kewell, but his shot was blocked.
Dietmar Hamann laid off a free-kick for Riise to open the scoring, but Celtic almost equalised when Chris Kirkland fumbled McGeady's cross.
Owen's goal, on 17 minutes, came after Riise lobbed the ball over a flat-footed Joos Valgaeren.
Vladimir Smicer missed a great chance to score a third after Baros played him through, while at the other end John Hartson headed a McGeady corner wide of Kirkland's goal.
Cisse opened his account for Liverpool on 62 minutes before Henchoz's freakish goal, with the ball bouncing off the turf and looping over Marshall. France striker Cisse should have made it five moments later when he was put clean through but he chipped the ball straight into the hands of Celtic's young goalkeeper.
Beattie, after his double at the weekend, gave Celtic a consolation in the 72nd minute from the spot after Salif Diao had brought down the youngster.
But Cisse notched his second of the night in the 76th minute when he received Murphy's pass and cut inside Slatislav Varga before firing low under Marshall.
