Celtic 1 FBK Kaunas 0 (agg 5-0)
Celtic have booked their place in the final qualifying stages of the Champions League without a single Hoops player finding the back of the net against FBK Kaunas.
The hard work for this tie had been taken care of last week when Celtic returned from Lithuania with a comfortable 4-0 win under their belts and their place in next week's third qualifying round against MTK Hungaria all but secure.
Such was the Parkhead side's confidence that they would progress, that manager Martin O'Neill was missing from the dug-out, believed to have flown to Finland to watch next week's opponents send HJK Helsinki out of the competition.
What resulted was a strange atmosphere, with the majority of Celtic Park full but slightly subdued and the players on the park always in control but rarely displaying any real signs of urgency.
Celtic's up-and-coming young players have been much lauded over recent weeks and flavour of the month, 22-year-old midfielder Liam Miller, was handed a starting role while Craig Beattie and Ross Wallace were given places on the bench.
With John Hartson sidelined with a calf strain and Henrik Larsson still battling back from a hamstring injury picked up in Lithuania, chief striking duties went to Chris Sutton, who was partnered by Shaun Maloney up front.
But it was the unlikely source of Darius Gvildys who gave Celtic the lead when he netted the only goal of the first half. Sutton and Alan Thompson had already tested the Lithuanian's defence but it was left to one of the visitors to send the ball past their own goalkeeper.
Miller started the move when he played the ball out to Jamie Smith on the wing, who curled a shot into the box to meet the onrushing Chris Sutton but, instead, the cross was met by Gvildys who nodded into his own net.
Kaunas tried to hit back quickly when Martin Opic burst through the middle and tried his luck with a shot at goal but the effort was comfortably saved by goalkeeper Rob Douglas.
Celtic still looked the side most likely to find the back of the net again and Miller was looking impressive for the Hoops.
His long, low ball was flicked towards goal by Sutton and the Kaunas goalkeeper did well to turn the effort just past the upright.
Like the first half, Celtic enjoyed much of the possession in the opening minutes after the restart but there was no real urgency about their play.
The first real chance fell to Sutton who unleashed a shot from just outside the six-yard box but the ball fell harmlessly wide of target.
Smith did well to fire a shot into the box from the wing only to be denied by the goalkeeper who punched clear into the path of Thompson - his rebound effort was decent enough but slid just inches wide.
Kaunas were trying to make the most of the training ground pace at which the game was being played and managed a couple of attempts at goal.
And the visitors should have netted just after the hour when Opic was allowed the space to play the ball into the path of Tadas Papeckys just inside the 18-yard box.
He tried to slot the ball past Douglas but the Celtic goalkeeper managed to get a hand to the effort to deny the Lithuanians a goal and the chance to make the aggregate scoreline slightly less embarrassing.
Sutton's five-match ban means he misses the beginning of the league campaign and his only involvement for the time being will be in European competition.
But, as the game headed into the final 20 minutes, the striker squandered another chance to find the back of the net.
He rose to meet Smith's cross only for his header to be pawed away by the goalkeeper.
There was concern for Kaunas when Tomas Kancelskis was stretchered off after clashing with Sutton, while trying to block his header, but he was able to return to the action after a few minutes.
Kaunas thought they had pulled a goal back in the last minute of the game when Karalius had the ball in the back of the net but they were denied their small moment of happiness by the assistant referee's offside flag.
