Jul 20, 2016 4:50:00 PM

The Scottish champions progressed to the next round of the competition thanks to three goals in the first half to banish memories of last week's humiliating defeat in Gibraltar.

Brendan Rodgers' Celtic bounced back from its first-leg embarrassment to beat part-timers Lincoln Red Imps 3-0 and advance to the third round of Champions League qualifying.

Having missed a glut of chances in a 1-0 defeat in their away leg, the Scottish champions were in unforgiving mood in Glasgow, netting a trio of first-half goals through Mikael Lustig, Leigh Griffiths and Patrick Roberts.
