CELTIC… 7
(Robertson 9, Cummings 19, 35 & 47, Quinn 60, Dobbie 70, Isiguzo 89)

CIVIL SERVICE STROLLERS… 0

Celtic FC B rounded off February in style on Wednesday evening, running out 7-0 winners over Civil Service Strollers at the Excelsior Stadium.

Goals from Mitchell Robertson, Ben Quinn, Lewis Dobbie, Samuel Isiguzo and a Daniel Cummings hat-trick sealed an impressive victory for the Hoops.

The opening goal of the night came from central defender, Mitchell Robertson, who glanced the ball home from a set-piece after just nine minutes.

It took just a further 10 minutes for Celtic to double their advantage, with Daniel Cummings scoring his first of a trio on the night.

There was some fantastic football on display from the young Academy side, and the forward was on hand to smash the ball home from close-range after a well-worked move just before the 20-minute mark.

Before the break, Cummings added to another goal, showcasing his clinical edge inside the area with a ruthless touch and finish to make the score 3-0 heading into half-time.

The striker was in no mood to stop there either as the match entered the second half, scoring just two minutes after the restart, producing another delighted finish beyond on-loan Rangers goalkeeper Jacob Pazikas.

On the hour mark, Ben Quinn got in on the scoring act, tucking the ball home into the back of an empty net after some unselfish play from Bruno Davidson on the right-hand side.

Putting in an impressive all-round performance as one of the two forwards leading the line for the Hoops, Lewis Dobbie was next to grab a well-deserved goal.

The youngster, who recently scored a hat-trick against Gala Fairydean Rovers, followed that up with another strike on Wednesday evening, working himself space from his marker to head the ball home from close-range.

And the scoring was rounded off in the dying stages of the match by substitute Samuel Isiguzo.

The youngster, who has recently stepped up to the B team, grabbed a goal on just his second appearance for the young Hoops, rounding off another brilliantly-worked team goal inside the area.

It was an entertaining night of action at the Excelsior Stadium as the Celts made it six wins from six in February with an emphatic victory.

To mark what was a fantastic evening for the Celtic Youth Academy, B team regular Daniel Kelly scored his first senior goal at Paradise in a 7-1 victory over Dundee for Brendan Rodgers' side.
