    Celtic 3-0 Lincoln Red Imps

    Patrick Roberts has been quiet since the restart but he burst into life to drift past a couple of players and his low shot is deflected wide.

    Scott Brown is not moving freely. It looks like the skipper has picked up a knock.

    Celtic 3-0 Lincoln Red Imps

    It's a bit flat at the moment as the visitors from Gibraltar win a few more midfield challenges and gamely commit more players forward.

    Here come Celtic again as Moussa Dembele finds some room in the penalty area but his shot is weak and easily saved.

    Erik Sviatchenko labours under a long ball, allowing Lee Casciaro to steal in behind the Celtic defender. He's through one-on-one with goalie Craig Gordon but the angle is tight and the Imps striker can only prod a shot wide of the mark.

    Celtic on the front foot straight away, with James Forrest winning a corner but the delivery from Stuart Armstrong is poor. The quality of set-pieces has been pretty low, considering how much practice Celtic are getting this evening.

  7. 'It's all about how many Celtic score now'published at 20:44 British Summer Time 20 July 2016

    HT: Celtic 3-0 Lincoln Red Imps (agg: 3-1)

    Former Celtic keeper Pat Bonner on Radio Scotland: "The tempo of the passing has been evident and Scott Brown just had to get the ball under control and get it out wide as quickly as possible to Patrick Roberts or James Forrest. They are turning it on, and Roberts has been sensational with his quick feet. He is maybe even over-doing it at times. Every time Leigh Griffiths gets the ball he looks like he can score too. The tempo went down a bit before half-time, but it is all about how many goals Celtic score now.  The key thing is to keep the tempo high."

    "I can't remember seeing a more one sided first half. Celtic came out looking like a team keen to make amends for last week's embarrassment. Three very good goals and attention has already turned to Astana in the next round. Damage limitation for the Imps now. What a difference a week and 50,000 fans make."

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:36 British Summer Time 20 July 2016

    Celtic 3-0 Lincoln Red Imps (agg: 3-1)

    Celtic are on their way to the Champions League third qualifying round after a burst of three goals inside six minutes. Mikael Lustig got the ball rolling, with Leigh Griffiths and Patrick Roberts adding to the tally.

    Astana are next up unless the minnows from Gibraltar can mount an unlikely comeback. It's been one-way traffic...

    Another smart stop from Raul Navas as a deflected shot from Kieran Tierney wrong-foots the Imps keeper but he's able to stick out a paw to keep it at 3-0...

    A first shot in anger from the visitors as Lee Casciaro slashes an effort high and wide from 25 yards.

    Celtic 3-0 Lincoln Red Imps

    Leigh Griffiths walks gingerly to the sidelines, causing a ripple of alarm among the home fans, but, after a quick slug of water and a word with manager Brendan Rodgers, he's right back into the thick of the action.

  13. GOOD SAVE!published at 35 mins

    Celtic 3-0 Lincoln Red Imps

    Raul Navas sprawls to protect his near post, thwarting Moussa Dembele's close range effort on the turn. The striker might have been better letting the ball run to Stuart Armstrong, who was clear in front of goal.

    "Incredible one-touch build-up from Celtic and a trademark finish from Roberts running in on the right-hand side. Celtic in complete control and the Imps in real trouble here. If the home side continue at this pace it could be a long night for the part-timers."

    Patrick Roberts

    Lovely goal. Patrick Roberts works a neat one-two with Callum McGregor to break into the penalty area then curls a shot beyond the diving Raul Navas and into the opposite corner. 

    Celtic fans can start planning a trip to Kazakhstan.

    Celtic 2-0 Lincoln Red Imps

    The visitors need something now and right on cue they force a corner but it comes to nothing and the referee turns a blind eye to a rather robust challenge from Kieran Tierney on Lee Casciaro on the edge of the area.

    And now Celtic are ahead in the tie as Patrick Roberts strides forward and slips a pass to Leigh Griffiths, who dips a shoulder to make room for a shot and thumps the ball home from the edge of the penalty box.

    Mikael Lustig

    Parity is established in the tie as the visitors struggle to clear their lines from a deep free-kick and Mikael Lustig does well in a congested box to swivel on the ball and shoot into the corner of the net from 12 yards.

  19. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 20 mins

    Celtic 0-0 Lincoln Red Imps

    Leigh Griffiths wants a penalty as he is barged out of the way by Roy Chipolina - and so do thousands of Celtic fans - but the referee from Poland is not interested. It would have been very, very soft...

    Celtic 0-0 Lincoln Red Imps

    A lunging prod from Callum McGregor takes a couple of deflections and Raul Navas is at full-stretch to push the ball round his post.

    We're up to six corners for Celtic now but the team from Gibraltar are dealing with the set-pieces quite comfortably.
