Celtic 6 - 0 Spartak Moscow, Parkhead
Celtic secured top spot in Group H with a brilliant performance against Spartak Moscow tonight. Aiden McGeady further enhanced his reputation with a master class of attacking play, bagging a hat trick in the process. The rout was completed with a brace from Balde and a stoppage time goal from Pato.

Spartak rarely threatened Artur Boruc's goal and on the few occasions they did, the Polish goalkeeper was more than up to the challenge. It will be interesting to see how the Hoops fair at the San Siro in a few weeks time, against a Milan side who will need a victory to ensure their own qualification.
