Fresh from a convincing 3-0 win in their opening qualifying leg for the Champions League, Brendan Rodgers' Celtic were back on the friendly circuit this afternoon.

Welcoming Belgium's Standard Liege to Celtic Park, the double-treble winners were in fine form once again.

Going in at the half-way mark three goals ahead, it was Odsonne Edouard who got the home team off to a flying start.

Next up was Moussa Dembele. One of the outstanding talents at Celtic, the Frenchman pounced on some naive defending, before beautifully chipping the ball beyond the goalkeeper's reach.
