Celtic ran riot in their pre-season friendly at Shamrock Rovers, beating the Irish side 9-0 in Dublin.
Doubles from Stuart Armstrong and Scott Sinclair, plus goals from Mikael Lustig, Moussa Dembele, James Forrest, Jonny Hayes and Tom Rogic gave Brendan Rodgers' side a convincing victory.
After a draw against Slavia Prague on Tuesday, Celtic were ahead through Lustig's easy finish in the box, before Armstrong netted in the 23rd minute to make it 2-0 at Tallaght Stadium.
Dembele made it three after a fine team move, Kieran Tierney set up Sinclair inside the six-yard box for 4-0, and James Forrest added a fifth with a well-placed effort into the bottom corner.
Sinclair scored again on 66 minutes, tapping home after rounding the goalkeeper, and Armstrong then doubled his tally after combining with Rogic.
Dubliner Hayes made it 8-0, finishing emphatically from Sinclair's cross for his first Celtic goal, and Rogic rounded off the scoring with a header on 86 minutes.
Celtic: Gordon (De Vries); Lustig, Simunovic (McGregor), Sviatchenko, Tierney (Izaguirre); Brown (Bitton), Armstrong, Rogic; Forrest (Hayes), Sinclair, Dembele (Griffiths).
