    Celtic start with the same XI as the one that began the match against St Johnstone on Saturday. That means European debuts in a Celtic jersey for Gary Mackay-Steven and Stuart Armstrong and Leigh Griffiths keeps his place up front.

    The only slight surprise in the Inter Milan line-up is the inclusion of Rodrigo Palacio ahead of Mateo Kovacic.

    Celtic XI: Gordon; Matthews, Denayer, van Dijk, Izaguirre; Brown, Bitton; Mackay-Steven, Johansen, Armstrong; Griffiths.

    Inter Milan XI: Carrizo; Campagnaro, Ranocchia, Juan Jesus, Santon; Medel, Guarin, Kuzmanovic; Shaqiri; Palacio, Icardi.

    Oh my. A terrible, terrible penalty by Guillaume Hoarau. This was a golden chance to get his side back into the game but he steps up far too casually to launch the spot kick high and wide.

    Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has left in-form striker Harry Kane on the bench as he hands Roberto Soldado a chance to impress in attack as part of six changes from the side which lost 3-2 at Liverpool last time out.

    Ben Davies and Federico Fazio come in for Eric Dier and Danny Rose in defence while Andros Townsend, Nacer Chadli and Paulinho come in for Ryan Mason, Mousa Dembele and Erik Lamela in midfield.

    Manchester City defender Micah Richards, who is on a season-long loan with the Florence club, is named among the substitutes for the visitors at White Hart Lane.

    Tottenham XI: Lloris, Walker, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies, Bentaleb, Paulinho, Chadli, Eriksen, Townsend, Soldado.

    Freddy Howard:, external Important Everton leave Switzerland so they have an easy second leg - gives them the opportunity to concentrate on vital Premier League matches.

    Matt Austin:, external I think the reason Everton look better tonight is because in the league teams have learned that sitting deep nullifies us. Not so in Europe.

    Romelu Lukaku completes a great night as he scores his third of the game and it is a typical Lukaku strike. He charges away on the attack, gets beyond a defender to leave him one-on-one and he sidefoots home.

    A few Young Boys players seem unhappy, though, as it appeared some had stopped as James McCarthy was down injured and needed treatment.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 19:15 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2015

    Bryan Oviedo limps off and, as expected, on comes Luke Garbutt.

    It looks like Bryan Oviedo's game is over. He has injured his hamstring having bumped Renato Steffen off the ball to prevent him crossing. Luke Garbutt is instructed to warm up quickly.

  9. Postpublished at 19:10 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2015

    A chance for Everton as Bryan Oviedo sends a cross into the area, Steve von Bergen tries to head the ball away but only as far as Kevin Mirallas, unmarked on the right side of the area, but he lashes his shot wide.

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 19:08 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2015

    Ross Barkley is booked but it could have been much worse. The Everton midfielder was down on the ground after a challenge and got knocked in the head by the trailing foot of Sekou Sanogo. Barkley gets up and pushes Sanogo and out comes the yellow card and the referee screams a warning at Barkley.

    Tim Howard's first action of the second half is to help a speculative cross-shot over the bar. It looked like it was going over, but he couldn't be too sure. The subsequent corner comes to nothing.

    Is Napoli's tie with Trabzonspor all over at half-time in the first leg? The Italian club lead 3-0 thanks to goals from Henrique, Gonzalo Higuain and Manolo Gabbiadini.

    A brace from Maxi Lopez has given Torino a 2-1 lead over Athletic Bilbao, who took the lead through Inaki Williams. Gervinho has put Roma are 1-0 up at the break against Feyenoord, while Obbi Oulare and Lior Rafaelov have given Club Brugge a 2-0 lead away at Aalborg.
