Brendan Rodgers’ squad scored twice in each half to earn a 4-0 victory in the Nation’s Capital. Matt O’Riley scored twice in a seven-minute span before half-time while second-half substitutes Mikey Johnston and James Forrest added goals of their own after the hour mark.
17-year-old Colby Donovan and 20-year-old Matthew Anderson were among the Celtic starters while summer signing Viljami Sinisalo played 45 minutes off the bench. Dane Murray and Bosun Lawal also earned crucial minutes, as did forward Mikey Johnston.
