Beaming Brendan Rodgers hailed his five-star Celtic after their record-breaking Champions League win got them off to a flyer on an epic European night at Parkhead.

Rodgers watched five different scorers hit the net to hammer Slovan Bratislava 5-1 and earn the Hoops' first ever opening group win and their biggest ever victory in the competition.

The win sent Celtic soaring into second place in the new 36-team league phase as they sit behind German giants Bayern Munich ahead of tough trips to Borussia Dortmund and Atalanta in their next two games.

Liam Scales sent the Scottish champions on their way with an early header to open the scoring before Kyogo’s strike - his 75th for the Hoops since joining from Vissel Kobe - early in the second half doubled the lead.
