Scorers:  Fortuny, Youssef, Herrero, Paz(2), Palacios

Line ups:

Real Madrid'sYouth team visit Airdrie and put on a show in the rain against a young Celtic B side.  The game started in monsoon conditions but is far from a leveller as Real race into a 2 goal lead before Celtic are reduced to 10 men midway from the first half.  McPherson sent off for a professional foul. A further two goals are scored before the break, followed by another brace in the second which is at least played in better weather conditions.

The stand out players for Real are captain Angel and Paz.

CELTIC-B  4  BROOMHILL  2

My first time seeing the B team in action in the Lowlands League and although the match lacks quality there is plenty of goal action to keep my interest.

Paul is on the line again for what is my 8th match at the Excelsior Stadium.
