Cup glory for Celtic
Celtic's second-string side warmed up for this week's Champions League qualifier by defeating Tottenham 2-0 in the Wembley Cup and highlighting the problems facing Harry Redknapp.
Victory, courtesy of goals by Chris Killen and Georgios Samaras, means Tony Mowbray's men won the friendly tournament ahead of Wednesday's clash against Dinamo Moscow and they have still not conceded a goal in four pre-season matches.
Spurs boss Redknapp, who has watched his side getting outplayed by two reserve sides during the tournament, has major worries at the heart of his defence as Ledley King, Jonathan Woodgate and Michael Dawson are sidelined, leaving no recognised centre-back.
It only took Celtic eight minutes to expose Spurs' fragile defence. Paul Caddis shifted past Benoit Assou-Ekotto on the right and whipped in a cross, with Killen getting in front of Chimbonda to plant his header past Heurelho Gomes.
Frenchman Dorian Dervite was fault for the second goal, courtesy of Samaras five minutes before the break.
Samaras was in his own half when he poked the ball past the 21-year-old and there was plenty of time to catch the Greece international, who was hardly known for his pace while at Manchester City for two years.
Instead, Samaras carried the ball into the penalty and executed a precise finish across Gomes.
In the day's other game in the London tournament, Barcelona beat Al Ahly 4-1 with Lionel Messi making a cameo appearance.
