Celtic centre-back Liam Scales has given the Hoops the lead against Slovan Bratislava, just 17 minutes into the game, from an Arne Engels corner.
The Hoops have dominated the game from the outset, and Scales capitalised on a dominant spell with several corners taken by Engels.
Scales headed the ball past Dominik Takac, who, despite getting a hand on it, was unable to keep it out of the net.

Scales, despite criticism last season, has been impressive so far this season and looks to have truly found his footing in this Celtic side.
The Irishman’s resurgence can largely be attributed to his own hard work and determination, as well as Brendan Rodgers’ man management, which has revitalised a player who was halfway out the door to Aberdeen last year.
