Brendan Rodgers content as 10-man Celtic cruise past Alashkert

Ten-man Celtic cruised into the Champions League second qualifying round as expected with a 3-0 win over Alashkert at Parkhead.

The Hoops’ 3-0 win in Armenia last week made the return game something of a formality and a first-half double from striker Moussa Dembele — the second a penalty — and a strike from James Forrest, made their lead unassailable.
