Two months after undergoing a right knee procedure, the 35-year-old Keane combined well with team mate Gyasi Zardes (two assists) to give the Galaxy plenty of optimism moving forward. “It feels like at the moment that we’re get- ting people back and then someone is miss- ing through suspension or injury,” Keane told reporters after the home victory. “Come July, hopefully we get everybody back together, everybody fit and healthy, and I think you’ll see a stronger, stronger team.” The Galaxy could hardly have looked any stronger early on Sunday as they stormed to a 3-0 lead in the first half. Keane kicked off the scoring in the 13th minute and added another in the 45th, while Giovani dos Santos tallied in between in a dominant display. The second half was a tighter affair, howev- er, with Steven Gerrard netting in injury time to complete the scoring after New England, winless in six games, had battled back through Kelyn Rowe and Juan Agudelo goals after the break. Los Angeles (5-1-3) are now undefeated in seven games and are riding high with their veteran striker back to lead the attack. “Robbie is very important for us, for the club. He’s a great player,” Dos Santos said. “I think the chemistry between me and him is Celtic’s Erik Sviatchenko, of Denmark, celebrates scoring a goal in this file photo. — AP getting better every game and for me, it’s always a pleasure to play with him.” In the only Celtic manager hails five in row, other match of the day, New York City beat DC CALIFORNIA: New England Revolution midfielder JeVaughn Watson (right) kicks the ball away United 2-0 after an in-form David Villa scored from Los Angeles Galaxy forward Robbie Keane during the first half of an MLS soccer game on blasts ‘little league’ disrespect his seventh goal of the season and Khiry Sunday, May 8, 2016 in Carson. — AP Shelton added another.— Reuters GLASGOW: Celtic manager Ronny Deila Glasgow rivals Rangers.

Their 5-1 matchday one loss at Dinamo Zagreb was their worst European result to date. Trivia and links • This will be Celtic's 299th UEFA club competition game (the first 298 ended: W141 D51 L106); the return meeting in Romania will be their 300th. • Romanian sides are unbeaten in their last four games in Scotland (W3 D1).
