Patrick Roberts needed just 15 minutes to make an impact in Celtic’s 3-0 win at Albion Rovers.
The winger was introduced on 75 minutes and was involved in the creation of two goals, first jinking past three defenders and setting up Scott Brown to cross for Moussa Dembele; then repeating the feat to weave his way into the area and square for Stuart Armstrong to seal the win.

In Holland, Bersant Celina grabbed an assist for Twente in their 1-0 win over Heracles. The Kosovan whipped in an excellent first-time cross for Joachim Andersen to head home.
Enes Unal completed 90 minutes, whilst Yaw Yeboah was brought off at half-time.
For NAC Breda, Thomas Agyepong and Manu Garcia and were involved in the opening goal of their 2-0 win over Achilles 29.
The former found the latter on the edge of the box, who in turn poked the ball to Cyriel Dessers to smash in. Like Agyepong, Ashley Smith-Brown played the full game, while home debutant Garcia was substituted in injury time. Brandon Barker remains sidelined through injury.
