Celtic impressed in front of their own fans with a 4-0 demolition of Newcastle United in the Adidas Trophy at Parkhead.

Winger Yang Hjun-jun made it 3-0 on 52 minutes after good work from Daizen Maeda before Liam Scales completed the scoring on 79 minutes. Scotland defender Kieran Tierney, who rejoined Celtic earlier this summer after six seasons at Arsenal, came on as a second half substitute and set up Scales' goal.

Hibs let midfielder leave Hibs, who earlier in the day announced that midfielder Allan Delferriere had left the club by mutual consent, fielding a strong team. Club record signing Thibault Klidje came on as a substitute following his £1m move from Luzern earlier in the week.
