PSV destroyed Galatasaray in their Champions League qualifier first-leg to take a step towards a potential clash with Celtic.
The Dutch giants thumped their rivals 5-1 in the 90 minutes at home as they look to book their place in third round qualifying.
Israeli striker Eran Zahavi nabbed himself an impressive hat-trick while Mario Gotze notched a brace as PSV ran riot. It was Emre Kılınç who scored the consolation for the Turks.
It means PSV have a huge four goal advantage heading to the second-leg knowing away goals won't come into play.
Meanwhile Celts could only muster a 1-1 draw with Midtjylland at Parkhead.
Should the Hoops see their opponents off, it looks likely they'll face PSV in the next round.
But for Galatasaray they are likely foes for double cup winners St Johnstone in the third qualifying round for the Europa League.
