Review
This was a vintage Celtic performance with Dalglish at the heart of virtually every Celtic attack.
They made an awesome start and were 5-0 up after 35 minutes. Edvaldsson was a powerhouse and scored a magnificent hat trick with head and foot.
Dalglish's goal was the talking point of the night when he beat two men in midfield, played a 1-2 with Wilson and hammered in a shot from the edge of the box.
