The disco lights were on full beam and the Champions League anthem echoed around the ground. But Celtic did something that no one expected.

They turned a Champions League match into a run-of-the-mill Premiership clash. Slovan Bratislava got battered, just like Kilmarnock, Hibs, St Mirren – and just like Rangers.

By the end this felt so much like a Premiership encounter it just needed Neil Doncaster to turn up with a trophy wrapped in green and white ribbons at the end.

The Green Brigade rolled out a spectacular display before kick-off with the famous picture of Billy McNeill and John Clark tucked up in bed with the European Cup from 1967.
