Socceroo Tom Rogic helped Celtic to a 5-0 drubbing of Astana in the first leg of their qualification play-off to set up his third-straight European Champions League campaign.
The midfielder set up the opening goal in the 31st-minute when his cross-shot was driven into the net by Astana defender Evgeni Postnikov.

He lasted 63 minutes before being taken off after a head clash. Celtic were up 3-0.

"He was smiling at the end, he obviously made a great contribution when he was on. I would expect him to be fine."
