BERN (Reuters) - Former European champions Celtic bounced back from last week's humiliating defeat against Lincoln Red Imps to beat the Gibraltan part-timers 3-0 on Wednesday and reach the next stage of the Champions League qualifiers.

The Scottish champions, astonishingly beaten 1-0 last week, scored three times in a six-minute spell in the first half to stave off the threat of an embarrassing exit in their second qualifying round tie.
