That wraps up Tribe's live coverage of this one. I've been Harry Dowsett, good night to you all.
As for Bratislava, they will now need to regroup, dust themselves down and prepare for their next match in the tournament. Unfortunately, that next match sees them host none other than reigning Premier League champions Manchester City. It goes without saying that they will need to be a lot better in that match if they are going to avoid another thrashing.
Celtic haven't always performed in the Champions League, but their display was truly superb. Star players including Kyogo, Maeda, Kuhn and Engels were all fantastic and it resulted in an extremely one-sided match. The win continues the Hoops' fine start to the campaign and with confidence flowing at Celtic Park, who knows what they could achieve in the competition this season.
WOW, what a game! If you were expecting this to be a dull affair you could not have been more wrong. While Bratislava did start the game well, Celtic gradually grew into the game and as the scoreline suggests, the Hoops were thoroughly deserving of their win tonight. Every single player to a man was excellent and Rodgers will be delighted with the intensity his players showed as much as anything else.

Celtic are cruising to victory here and are still attacking just as they were at 0-0. Could they get a sixth yet?

A 5-STAR PERFORMANCE! Two substitutes combine as Forrest slips Idah in behind on the right-hand side of the box. He controls the ball excellently and slides a neat effort along the floor, past the keeper, and into the bottom left corner!

More changes for both sides as the fatigued Carter-Vickers departs for the hosts. A smart decision as he was starting to look very leggy.
