Quick Review

Alan Thompson flighted a free-kick into the six-yard box, Ball failed to properly mark Larsson and, with Stefan Klos stuck on his line, the Swede headed firmly down and into the net.
David Marshall, the hero of the Nou Camp, pulled off two breathtaking saves in quick succession to prevent an equaliser.
Celtic sealed victory after 51 minutes, when Zura Khizanishvili was robbed on the edge of the box by Larsson. Larsson set up Pearson and, when his shot was blocked by Klos, Thompson rounded the goalkeeper and stroked the ball into the net off the toe of Bob Malcolm.
It was almost 3-0 when Chris Sutton's header was poked on to the crossbar by Varga from just three yards. Thompson rose to head home for Rangers after 82 minutes, fellow substitute Burke having lifted Rangers' performance.
