Celtic man eases Parkhead pain with crushing win as ex-Rangers star sparks flurry of goals

Celtic defender Auston Trusty started and played 90 minutes in the United States' 4-1 friendly victory over Peru in Orlando, Florida on Saturday night. The performance was Trusty's first appearance since receiving criticism for his role in Celtic's 1-0 defeat to Rangers, marking Mauricio Pochettino's side's first fixture since their World Cup elimination earlier in the summer.

Justin Ellis opened the scoring on his debut before Gianluca Lapadula equalized for Peru. Former Rangers midfielder Malik Tillman converted a 66th-minute penalty, with Julian Hall and Sebastian Berhalter adding further goals to seal the win. Trusty recorded five clearances and won all but one aerial duel during the match.
