Quick Review

Celtic looked impressive in all departments and it was no surprise when they took the lead, with Petta doing the damage. The Dutchman, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Fulham, carved his former employers open as a neat step-over swept him past Zat Knight before finding Sylla on the edge of the area. Sylla spotted Hartson in an unmarked position and teed-up Welsh striker Hartson for his first goal since January.
Celtic were outplaying their opponents and went close again in the 19th minute, with Sylla and Stephen Pearson forcing Flitney into action.
A different Fulham line-up emerged after the interval and they were nearly caught out when Celtic substitute Craig Beattie threaded his way through a series of tackles only to shoot at the legs of Crossley.
Celtic doubled their lead in the 69th minute when Lennon tucked home a penalty after replacement keeper Mark Crossley had upended Stilian Petrov.
