The Bhoys took the lead in the third minute when Stefan Johansen collected the ball on the edge of the area and put a through-ball into the box for Leigh Griffiths to slot past Johan Wiland.

Celtic doubled their lead from a corner as Johansen was again the provider when he lifted the ball in from the right from a corner and Nir Bitton headed into the net from close range.

The visitors almost got a goal back when Vladmir Rodic latched on to a loose ball on the edge of the penalty area and drove a low effort at goal, but Craig Gordon palmed the ball past the post.

Celtic came close again just before the break when Stuart Armstrong was allowed to cut inside down the left and rifle an effort towards the top corner, but his strike sailed inches wide of the target.
