Ryan Christie
Now that's a better finish...
Ryan Christie dips a shoulder to make room for a shot at the edge of the penalty box and what a shot it is as the midfielder curls the ball beyond the big keeper and right into the corner of the net.

The only reason the scoreline is just three is some poor finishing in this second half.
Celtic are carving out opportunity after opportunity and will surely add to their tally.
This is as comfortable an experience in European football Celtic will have had in a long, long time.

During the break, Celtic paraded new signing Hatem Abd Elhamed. The Israeli defender says the Scottish champions are "the best place" for him to continue his career after signing a four-year-deal for a reported £1.6m fee., external

A warm ovation for Leigh Griffiths as the striker skips off after a good night's work.
That special goal will be a huge boost for the returning striker.
Celtic 3-0 Nomme Kalju
Leigh Griffiths is waiting for the tap-in at the back post but covering defender Markovych gets there just before him.
That will be that for the striker, with Lewis Morgan waiting to come on.

It's one-way traffic as Leigh Griffiths sets up Ryan Christie. Another straightforward save for Pavel Londak.

Quote MessageCeltic are on a different level to this team. The movement, the passing, they got their first goal at a good time and they've built on it. Young Ryan Christie was the man who set the tempo - when he gets the ball, when he loses the ball, he's at it. His free-kick for the first goal was brilliant and his penalty - bang!

Quote MessageGriffiths looks sharp. The free-kick was brilliant. If he's back, wow, what a boost that is for Celtic and for Scotland.
Scottish League Cup group stages
Hearts are being held at home by Stenhousemuir, but even a draw with a winning bonus point would be enough to nudge them back to the top of Group A after Dundee United's shock defeat by East Fife on Tuesday.
Ross County are poised to clinch top spot Group B as they lead Forfar Athletic 1-0, while Premiership rivals St Johnstone - whose qualification hopes are already dead - lead Brechin City 2-0.
And it's tight in Group F, with Partick Thistle level with Clyde as they look to secure a last-16 place, and Queen's Park beating Airdrieonians.

Image source, SNSClassic Leigh Griffiths. An utterly fantastic finish but the outpouring of emotion around this stadium was something to behold.
That meant so much to the striker and clearly Griffiths means a lot to these supporters. He’s back.
That could be game, set and match in this tie already.

Ryan Christie has been instrumental again this evening for Celtic. His delivery created the opener. He earned the second although it did seem touch harsh on the defender. Rules are rules though.
His penalty was superb. Total confidence to slam home a crucial second.
Celtic are on Easy Street after goals from Kristoffer Ajer, Ryan Christie and Leigh Griffiths.
Leigh Griffiths
That's the Leigh Griffiths of old. The striker whips a fantastic free kick into the top corner and Celtic Park erupts!
That's his first goal since 24 November.
Celtic 2-0 Nomme Kalju
Almost a third goal for Celtic as Leigh Griffiths cuts inside his man and has a lash. The shot is deflected just wide.
Moments later, Ryan Christie is booked for a late lunging tackle.
