Celtic last night swept away another top class side as their highly
impressive tour of Sweden reached new heights with a goal frenzy and a
general all-round display which suggested that their 2002-03 UEFA Cup run
was only a sign of great things to come for Scottish football.

A sluggish first-half suggested that the mighty hoops may have been tired
after their victory over FKF Allbran7039 on Friday.

Chris Sutton's header from an Agathe centre was all that separated the sides
as the Bhoys headed in at the interval 2-1 up.

An upturn in the Bhoys workrate was demanded by furious boss Martin O'Neill,
who was also helped by half the opposition disappearing after the ice-cream
van chimes went, the dismissal of home centre-half Anderson Andersonsonson
by referee Kennet Clarkensen for looking at Neil Lennon funny, and the
substitution of the Swedes star striker Kreme-Ola Volvo who saw one of his
wheelchair castors buckled in an off-the-ball incident involving Neil Lennon
and a claw hammer.

Man of the match Chris Sutton was delighted with the outcome and said "They
tried like hell, not like that Dunfermline keeper who I reckon touches up
Jack Russels."

Celtic face a Captain Birdseye XI when the pub shuts.
