Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: “We played well in the first half, got the early goal that we wanted, had other more opportunities to be more clinical, but I just felt we were taking one touch too many,” he said.

“A couple of little positional changes, there was too much movement in the first half at times.

“You could see right from the off in the second half, the players were absolutely sensational. When we turned the screw, we were really, really difficult to play against.

“Mentality, hunger, greedy for more goals, greedy for the ball, everyone working right until the very end and we could’ve had more than five.

“There was big expectation coming into the game, but for us it was just about us not complicating the game.

“When we turned the screw in the second half, we were really, really difficult to play against.

“It’s the start that we wanted, I don’t think we could have asked for a better start, except for a clean sheet which was unfortunate we didn’t keep.

“Our next three games are tough but exciting, we’ve made a fantastic start.”

On back-to-back wins in the Champions League, he said, “It’s a little step, but an important step we’ve taken.”

On Celtic’s struggles in this competition of late, Brendan Rodgers said, “I want to change that mood and that feeling. We’ve worked on that from the beginning of pre-season so that we can have that belief.

“This is the level, just don’t overthink it.

“The razzmatazz around the Champions League is amazing, but we are playing a team who are defending in 4-4-2, which we will play against here in the league, okay it’s different tiers, but it’s still the same idea.”
