Celtic thrashed St. Mirren 5-1 on Saturday, with Japan forward Daizen Maeda scoring the opener and Reo Hatate coming off the bench to score a brace at the home match during the fifth round of the Scottish Cup football competition.
Maeda slid in a low cross in the 16th minute and Hatate, who came on in the 63rd minute, doubled the lead 13 minutes later with a penalty, right after St. Mirren went a man down.
Hatate then blasted the ball high into the net to make it 5-1 deep in the stoppage time.
Japanese forward Kyogo Furuhashi came off injured in the 14th minute at Celtic Park.
