Celtic Have Too Much For Prague

Morton Rasmussen (54)
Diomansy Kamara (75)
Manager Thoughts: Get in! Absolutely over the moon with this result - brillaint performance and we definatley deserved the win. I thought it was over for us after they went 1-0 and had numerous chances to make it 2-0, but we were lucky enough to get over the finishing line.
Our next opponent will be in the next update.
EDIT - We've got Stuttgart

Aberdeen 0-3 Celtic
Aiden McGeady (10)
Giorgos Samaras (20)
Giorgos Samaras (72)
Manager Thoughts: A great way to kick off our SPL campaign. Great to seeGiorgos get his first 2 goals of the season, just when we needed the most. I thought Aberdeen were brilliant today, and the scoreline doesn't reflect the game, as we were outplayed throughout most of it.
Celtic 3-0 Stuttgart
Diomansy Kamara ( 6 )
Giorgos Samaras (19)
Robbie Keane (pen,79)
Manager Thoughts: Another brilliant performance from us. Stuttgart didn't perform to there highest standards, but to say we were brilliant is a complete understatement. This really does set us up well to make the Group Stages of the Champions League.
Celtic 1 -1 St. Johnstone
Murray Davidson (15)
Jan Hooiveld (69)
Manager Thoughts: Not a good result really, but I rested most of my squad ahead of our crucial match against Stuttgart in mid-week. I'm not too disheartened, and St. Johnstone did very well.
Stuttgart 1-1 Celtic
Sebastian Rau (1)
Girogos Samaras (45)
Manager Thoughts: On the whole, that was a very poor performance, and Stuttgart, really, should have taken advantage of it, and I thought they were going to with there early goal. We only had two chances throughout the match, and scored one. I'm happy we're progressing to the Group Stages, but a massive improvement is in order.
After the match, the draw for the Champions League was made. Celtic have been handed a tough group, including reigning champions Barcelona, former champions Juventus and a very winnable match against Standard.
The same day, the draw for the Scottish League Cup was made, Celtic were given a home tie against Raith Rovers.
Hibernian 0-2 Celtic
Marc Antoine-Fortune ( 6 )
Diomansy Kamara (16)
Manager Thoughts: A solid performance, not a game for the record books, as not many chances were had by either team, but we did just enough to claim the win. Hibernian lacked pace upfront and that showed on the final score.
