We asked for your views after Celtic took a firm grip of their Champions League play-off with a 3-0 first-leg win over LASK at Parkhead.

Here are some of your comments:

Gavin: Superb going forward, solid in midfield but far too open at the back. We need more back-up and we will need to score in the away game. Overall they are a new team starting to knit together.

Brandon: Easily one of the best European nights in a while at Celtic Park, what an atmosphere!

Gordy: Fantastic performance and result, still a bit lax in defence at times but we are starting to build an exciting team. Camilo Duran stole the show with his goals and display, but the performance of Kasper Hogh was vital as he was the link from defence to attack and kept both centre-halves busy all night. Hopefully get the job done next week and then a few more signings, magnificent European night.

John: What a fantastic result. Going forward we looked very good and could have scored more. The result could have easily ended 3-3 and we would have had no complaints. LASK are a very good team also. We still have work to do for the second leg. Overall a great result and a big step in the right direction.

George: What a big difference from last season but the defence is still not good enough. Better teams will rip it apart.

Ian: Great team performance, much more pace with the passing, much more attacking intent, great to see. New signings looking sharp and what a shift from Duran and young Colby Donovan! Outstanding. Going into the second leg with confidence, same again please.
