    HT: Celtic 0-1 Braga

    Another goalless half from Celtic and this one was really, really abject.

    Seven touches in the Braga box - five of them from the admirable Sebastian Tounekti - and none of them from Kelechi Iheanacho, Benjamin Nygren and Daizen Maeda.

    It's a non-performance from Brendan Rodgers' team. As for the goal. Great strike, awful goalkeeping. Schmeichel has also given the ball away three times. It can only get better, right?

    The "fans" talk about the board but Rodgers has spent money at times on players who don’t deliver - also his team are obsessed with sideways or back passes - all very familiar with how his previous tenure went... dull, slow and ineffective.

    Celtic dreadful. Changes needed quick.

    Mick

    The Celtic midfield is so slow. No urgency in the build-up, seem to be defensively minded with so much back & cross-field passing. Very poor.

    Celtic have to do something because Braga have dominated since the goal and look very menacing on the attack.

    Boos greet the half-time whistle, very unsurprisingly.

    Celtic have been poor, with the exception of the first 10 minutes or so.

    Thereafter, Braga sorted themselves out, exploited the vast spaces Celtic were offering them and gratefully accepted Kasper Schmeichel's meek effort to keep out Ricardo Horta's speculative long-range effort.

    The Scottish champions will need to be much, much better after the break if they're to ignite their Europa League campaign.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 18:34 BST 2 October

    Steady start in our first helping of half-time booing tonight from the Celtic support.

    Their team have not been very good.

    Celtic are scrambling to get to half-time just the one goal down.

    Tells you all you need to know about the first 45. Not good at all from a home point of view.

    Credit to Braga, they've been good.

    Ooft, Celtic get away with another one.

    It's Florian Grillitsch again, he has two close-range goal-bound shots blocked.

    Braga look for a second as Florian Grillitsch smashes one from the edge of the box, but Kasper Schmeichel tips over and Celtic deal with the corner.

    Kasper Schmeichel boots a ball from his own box all the way out for a Braga goal kick.

    Does that count as a shot?

    Braga haven't had a great start to the season in Portugal, lying in 7th place currently.

    They're enjoying themselves in Glasgow, however, and in the Europa League in general, with their 1-0 defeat of Feyenoord their only victory in their past five matches.

    They're on course for all three points at the moment.

    Ambitious from the youngster.

    Celtic are almost outnumbered in the middle of the pitch.

    Celtic are also now on 46% possession.

    It felt like they must have been on double that before Braga scored.

  18. Curiously lacklustre Celticpublished at 18:23 BST 2 October

    With 10 minutes to go until half-time, this has been a curiously lacklustre first 45 minutes from Celtic. After a decent enough start, they've completely fallen out of this match and don't look like posing Braga any kind of threat.

    There's a big team talk coming from Brendan Rodgers, and possibly some personnel changes too. The midfield isn't working and Celtic also look vulnerable down either flank.

    At this moment in time Braga are dominating the ball and they look like the ones who are going to score the next goal.
