Celtic advance to third qualifying round of Champions League

Celtic book their place in the third qualifying round of the Champions League after a dominant 4-0 victory over Iceland's KR Reykjavik at Murrayfield.

Celtic strolled into the third qualifying round of the Champions League after a convincing 4-0 win over Icelandic side KR Reykjavik.

After a 1-0 victory in Iceland last time out, Celtic's advantage multiplied early on after a Virgil van Dijk header put the Scottish champions 1-0 ahead on just the 13th minute.

It got progressively worse for KR Reykjavik as Van Dijk struck again only seven minutes later as another corner was converted by the Dutch centre-back.

The tie was all but over just before the half-hour mark as Celtic's Finnish striker Teemu Pukki lashed the ball past Stefan Magnusson from six yards.

Celtic continued to dominate after half time and their attacking intent paid off as Celtic grabbed their fourth as Pukki scored his second from a tight angle.

Kris Commons rattled the frame of the goal as Celtic pushed on until the final whistle, when the Glasgow team booked their place in the third qualifying round with an emphatic 4-0 performance over KR Reykjavik.
