    Dylan James McKaig: "Astra won 2-1 to Lyon in the play-off round and won by away goals. I can see why from this performance."

    James McKay: "Sorry, I've just had to turn off the Radio Commentary on BBC Scotland of the Celtic EuCup game. I can't handle the 'Jekyll and Hyde' syndrome that Deila has brought to Celtic."

    A Scott Brown cross takes a deflection and eventually falls for Anthony Stokes, but the Celtic striker's shot is blocked in front of goal by Cristian Oros.

    All of Celtic's threat is coming from right-back Mikael Lustig and another deep cross finds Stefan Scepovic unmarked only eight yards from goal, but the misfiring striker heads weakly over the crossbar. Celtic's best chance so far.

    Ray Gaw: "Celtic lucky not to be behind, some great crosses from Lustig, crying out for someone to take a gamble & get there!"

    "All of a sudden Astra look pretty tidy and should probably be ahead. Three good chances (two smart Craig Gordon saves and a loose bit of finishing preventing the goals) and the home crowd aren't happy with the ease with which the Celtic defence is being carved open. Celtic have got to be better than this."

    "We have been a bit disrespectful to Astra. We called them the whipping boys of the group, but just now they are playing the better football."

    An awful ball across the face of his own penalty box by Celtic midfielder Charlie Mulgrew hands a good chance to Gabriel Enache, but the midfielder drives wide from 16 yards.

  10. CLOSE!published at 20:35 British Summer Time 23 October 2014

    Astra's Vasileios Pliatsikas has to head away a dangerous Mikael Lustig cross to the back post and, although nothing comes of that, the Greek defender goes close to volleying into his own net after another ball looped in by the Swede.

    "Not much so far to excite the home fans who braved the wind and rain. Celtic have had plenty of possession but are yet to test Silviu Lung in the FC Astra goal."

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:29 British Summer Time 23 October 2014

    Craig Gordon stretches out a big leg to deny a low drive from Astra's Constantin Budescu. The visitors are piling on the pressure.

    A superb 22-yard half-volley from Ghanaian midfielder Seidu Yahaya almost takes Craig Gordon by surprise and the Celtic goalkeeper chests it away in unconventional style.

    It's Astra's turn to exert a bit of pressure on the Celtic defence, but it remains goalless in Glasgow with neither side having seriously threatened.

    News from Austria is that Salzburg have taken the lead in the other Group D game through Brazilian defender Alan Carvalho.

    cade evans: "We should win tonight, but how inconstant we are under Delia, I wouldn't be surprised if we got less!" Assume you are a Celtic fan there!

  17. Former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner on BBC Radio Scotlandpublished at 20:19 British Summer Time 23 October 2014

    "It is a slow start by Celtic. They are not moving the ball with any urgency. They are maybe a bit worried about this team and are wanting to have a look at them."

    Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk thumps a free-kick into the Astra defensive wall. Bit of a waste of a good opportunity there. Not exactly a Dutch master!

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:16 British Summer Time 23 October 2014

    Astra midfielder Seydou Yahaya is the first into the referee's book for a lunging challenge as Celtic begin to exert some pressure.

    Celtic win the first corner of the game and Charlie Mulgrew floats a header harmlessly over the crossbar after being found unmarked in acres of space 14 yards from goal by Anthony Stokes' cross to the far post.
