The Glens had knocked eight past the newly promoted Hoops in their two CIS Insurance Cup meetings and, with five minutes gone, it looked like being more of the same when Darren Lockhart made the most of some poor Celtic defending to slot the ball past Declan Brown into the corner of the net.

Despite that bright opening the remainder of the first half was a largely uninspiring affair save for a Gary Hamilton shot on the turn which Brown kept out with his legs.

The second period wasn't much better with a Cullen Feeney 77th minute effort being the pick of what little was created.
