Celtic returned to action in impressive fashion as they thrashed Austrian third-tier side SC Wiener Viktoria 7-0 on Wednesday.

There's been some crunching tackles in this match and it's going to be interesting. They are awarded a free-kick on the edge of the box but it's a dissapointing delivery There was reportedly an option to buy for the top-flight side to buy the 22-year-old but it looks as if he's been given a chance to prove himself by Postecoglou this pre-season. The ball falls to Matt O'Reilly on the edge of the box and the midfielder picks out the bottom corner with a angled shot It was a corner in from the right and it was a free header for Rapid Vienna. It was good build-up from Rapid as they got down the right and it was a fine ball in. No change to how tasty it is in the first half with a bit of handbags again. It's his first chance to get a shot away as he swivvled in front of the box and hit one. Rapid are doing a lot of attacking and in the last few minutes there's been a big save from Scott Bain and the home side have hit the bar. Scott Bain wil be gutted as he made a great initial save but Rapid Vienna get an equaliser from the rebound to make it 2-2. Among the changes in the second half were David Turnbull and Kyogo and both of them got on the scoresheet but Rapid Vienna couldn't be kept out and it finished 3-3. Ange Postecoglou made 10 changes at half time in the game so 21 players got a run out and it was a good workout for them against a tough Rapid Vienna side.

Bain made a decent save, but Rene Klriwak was there to nod home the follow up. A sign of rust, perhaps, but still a poor goal to lose at any time. Scott Bain, Chris Jullien, Bosun Lawal, Greg Taylor, James McCarthy, Yosuke Ideguchi, David Turnbull, Liel Abada, James Forrest and Kyogo all entered the fray. There were clearly some Rapid fans in the crowd with long memories, as the rancour from that infamous 1984 clash seemed to still be lingering. This was a clear step up in class for Celtic after the rout of Wiener Viktoria in their opening friendly of pre-season, and the line-up reflected it. There was a fair amount of rust on display from the visitors, with Cameron Carter-Vickers and Joe Hart getting into an almighty fankle to hand Vienna their first equaliser, for instance, and the concession of a disappointing last-gasp equaliser.
