Karim Adeyemi fires hat-trick as Borussia Dortmund demolish Celtic
The Champions League has a habit of inflicting these inglorious episodes on Celtic. It is difficult to shake the notion that this big fish simply cannot swim when removed from its small domestic pond. Borussia Dortmund toyed with and teased their visitors in a match that was over as a contest long before the half-time whistle blew.
