Israeli referee Alon Yefet is happy to go and toots the horn to start the second half.
No changes for either side in Serbia. And no change in the atmosphere either. Still bubbling as we wait for the officials to get in position.
Back out at Salzburg. And back underway.
They are a little more laid back in Belgrade.
Around the grounds across Europe at the halfway stage in the rest of the early games, Dynamo Moscow are 1-0 ahead at Panathinaikos thanks to Aleksandr Kokorin's strike just before the break and PSV Eindhoven are 1-0 up against Portuguese side Estoril with a Luuk de Jong penalty.
El Arbi Hilal Soudani has scored a first-half hat-trick to give Dinamo Zagreb a 3-0 lead over Romanians Astra and Marcos Gullon's goal has doubled Apollon Limassol's advantage against Zurich.
Football Association chairman Greg Dyke has said he will return a watch given to him by the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF).
The gifts were handed out by one of the CBF's sponsors to various people at the World Cup and Fifa has asked its officials to return the £16,000 watches or risk disciplinary action.
Dyke said: "During the Fifa Congress in Sao Paulo, a bag with a watch inside was left in my hotel room by the Brazilian FA. I had no idea of the value and it has been left untouched in my office since returning to England. We are already taking steps to return the bag and its contents - which are still in their original packaging.
"I welcome Fifa's investigation on the matter, including their intention to donate the items to good causes back in Brazil. The fact that gifts of great value are being handed out randomly and often with the recipient unaware shows up a culture in need of change. I had actually set the bag aside in my box of items to donate to charity."
Tottenham can be pretty content with their first 45 minutes of work this evening. They have kept the ball well, created the better chances and largely frustrated the opposition, who have looked dangerous on the break but not at many other times.
Tottenham fans - do you agree? Happy with what you've seen so far?
Tottenham pile men forward for a late corner and almost pay the price as Paritzan break quickly and slickly.
The hosts' attack ends with Danilo Pantic thumping a low shot into the body of Hugo Lloris from a tightening angle.
Stefan Johansen gets a encouraging slap on the back from a Celtic team-mate. He could have been on the receiving end of worse had his defensive header not sneaked just over Craig Gordon's crossbar for a corner.
Lucky lad.
Time ticking down in both Serbia and Austria. Five minutes until the half-time oranges.
Oi,oi, trouble up mill.
Vladimir Volkov goes down like a sack of spuds as he and Andros Townsend contest an aerial ball and the Tottenham man catches his opponent with a hint of elbow.
Mauricio Pochettino is stalking up and down the touchline angrily telling everyone to calm down. The referee decides that Townsend is the first name into his little black book.
All square in Salzburg. Alan is set scampering in behind by a clever outside-of-the-foot pass from Christoph Leitgeb and his shot gives Craig Gordon no chance - looping up and over the wrong-footed Celtic stopper via a hefty deflection off Efe Ambrose.
The goals are starting to trickle in elsewhere in Europe.
Villarreal are trailing 1-0 at Germany's Monchengladbach, midfielder Patrick Herrmann capitalising on a defensive error to grab the opening goal.
Meanwhile, El Arabi Hillel Soudani has scored twice for Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb at home to Romanians Astra while Papoulis has put Apollon of Cyprus 1-0 up against Switzerland's Zurich.
That is the sort of save that convinced Sunderland to shell out £9m a few years back. Celtic's Craig Gordon goes full-length to get a fingertip to Andre Ramlho's header and it is a crucial touch - preventing the ball finding the far corner and keeping it away from the in-sliding Alan.
Which players would you like to see back in the Premier League?
Michael, from Manchester via text: I don't think there is a single Liverpool fan that would not have Xabi Alonso back at Anfield, pure class!
It wasn't a half-chance, maybe a third-of-a-chance, but Harry Kane will have wanted to do better. The ball bounced up awkwardly for the Tottenham striker on the angle, 15 yards out, and he shanked a miserable effort well wide.
Jenni via text: "Wakaso Mubarak, welcome! What a way to mark your debut."
Captain Lloris to the rescue! Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris bails out new boy Federico Fazio who gets caught under a long throw from Vladimir Volkov and allows Danko Lazovic to peel into space behind him.
Lloris is out quickly to block as the Partizan forward takes a couple of touches to control and Nabil Bentaleb wellies the loose ball upfield.
The action is swinging from end to end in Salzburg. Craig Gordon has to drop smartly to smother a drilled free-kick in the Celtic goal and shortly after his captain Scott Brown drags a low shot wide from just inside the area.
A mob of Salzburg defenders were descending on the Bhoys' skipper, forcing him to rush his effort.
