Match Report from Football 365Celtic showed no mercy to Third Division Stirling Albion as they smashed eight goals past the part-timers to advance into the fourth round of the CIS Insurance Cup. With Henrik Larsson and Chris Sutton watching from the bench, teenage striker Shaun Maloney marked his first Parkhead start with four goals, while John Hartson marked a rare start with two more. Fringe players Olivier Tebily and Colin Healy also scored on a night when Dmitri Kharine, Steve Guppy, Jackie McNamara and Stephen Crainey were given starts. The match was also notable as Morten Wieghorst's comeback game as it was his first top team appearance since April 2000. The Dane had been struck down by the rare Guillaine-Varre syndrome, which affects the brain, and at one stage it was feared he would not survive, let alone kick a ball again. The visitors held out for 21 minutes before conceding from a corner. Tebily chested down the clearance and hooked the ball goalward on the turn. The ball travelled past a clutch of players before being diverted into the net off Hartson. Seven minutes later, Maloney slid in to make it 2-0 after Moravcik had rolled a precise pass from the right across the Stirling box and the teenager poked the ball past Chris Reid. Stirling came close soon after, when McNamara fouled Gareth Munro. From the free kick Reilly headed against the crossbar. Normal service was resumed in the 40th minute when Maloney, who had just had a goal disallowed for offside, made it 3-0 after Moravcik had put him away with a ball down the middle. Celtic brought on Jamie Smith for Moravcik at the start of the second half, and he had a hand in the fourth goal in the 53rd minute, by supplying the cross which Maloney headed in to complete his hat trick. In the 68th minute Maloney made it 5-0 when he fired past Reid. Healy made it 8-0 in the 78th minute with a scrappy finish, bundling the ball past a wrong footed Reid after Hartson had laid the ball back to him. Celtic now face a stiffer task in the next round when they take on third-placed Livingston.
