    Celtic 0-0 Rosenborg

    Will Brendan Rodgers be mulling over a formation change at the break? Scott Sinclair, who has been kept quiet by the Norwegians, will be looking to have a greater impact in the second 45.

    Celtic 0-0 Rosenborg

    Tom English
    Chief sports writer, BBC Scotland at Celtic Park

    "Celtic haven't forced a save out of Andre Hansen. They've had so much possession but haven't forced a save.

    "[Scott] Sinclair's been very quiet. If Rosenborg keep defending as well as they are, this could end 0-0.

    "Even a one-goal advantage would be a help going over there. Nil-nil is not great."

  5. HALF-TIME Celtic 0-0 Rosenborgpublished at 20:30

    Much gnashing of teeth in Celtic circles as a frustrating first half draws to a close with the first leg goalless. The absence of Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths is being keenly felt.

  6. Celtic 0-0 Rosenborgpublished at 43 mins

    A flicker of a chance for Nicklas Bendtner but the former Arsenal man balloons his effort high, wide and out for a throw-in. Ironic cheers from the Celtic supporters; not a great moment for the giant marksman.

    Sofien Moussa - hat-trick

    Sofien Moussa heads home his third goal of the evening. Dundee on easy street in the League Cup.

  8. Celtic 0-0 Rosenborgpublished at 41 mins

    It's a case of nearly there on a number of occasions during a frustrating first half for Celtic. However, credit has to be given to Rosenborg who are giving the hosts very little space in which to strut their stuff.

    Jose Mourinho must be chuckling somewhere and stroking a white cat...

  9. Celtic 'not asking questions'published at 40 mins

    Celtic 0-0 Rosenborg

    Tom English
    Chief sports writer, BBC Scotland at Celtic Park

    "Celtic need a lot more from James Forrest. He looks like a player who is struggling with his confidence again. Tried to beat his man earlier and just managed to run into him and give the ball away. Would be a very early move from Brendan Rodgers but bringing on Hayes at half-time might be on his mind right now. Celtic are not asking questions now, They've lost their way in the last 15 minutes."

  10. Celtic 0-0 Rosenborgpublished at 39 mins

    A promising Celtic move fizzles out as James Forrest challenges for a header somewhat gingerly - as though not wanting to disturb the flowing locks after a visit to his favourite barber's - triggering howls of frustration from the Celtic supporters.

  11. Celtic 0-0 Rosenborgpublished at 37 mins

    So far, Celtic have kept giant striker Nicklas Bendtner quiet in the first half, without being able to carry a significant threat of their own.

    Celtic's best success in the first half has been down the right whenever Mikael Lustig has bombed on and thrown a cross in hoping for someone to get on the end of it.

  13. New role for Rogicpublished at 33 mins

    Celtic 0-0 Rosenborg

    Tom Rogic has been deployed in the Moussa Dembele/Leigh Griffiths role for Celtic tonight in both strikers' absence.

    As a regular scorer, the Australian is no stranger to the penalty area but is more accustomed to playing in midfield.

    Can the creativity of Tom Rogic unlock Rosenborg's defence?

  14. GREAT SAVE!published at 32 mins

    Celtic 0-0 Rosenborg

    The visitors bare their attacking teeth for the first time in this Champions League qualifier, Konradsen pick-pockets Scott Brown before seeing his rasping drive tipped away by Craig Gordon.

  15. 'Lustig beauties but no takers'published at 29 mins

    Celtic 0-0 Rosenborg

    Tom English
    Chief sports writer, BBC Scotland at Celtic Park

    "Celtic playing some nice stuff against a packed Rosenberg defence. Clever build-up play, inviting crosses but the lack of a central striker is a big problem for them. Lustig has curled in a couple of beauties but no Celtic player has been anywhere near them. Rosenborg have had one good chance. They're surviving on scraps of possession but they look fairly dangerous at times when they break forward."

  16. Celtic 0-0 Rosenborgpublished at 27 mins

    Scott Sinclair earns a free kick following some over zealous tackling by Hedenstad. Scott Brown picks out Jozo Simunovic who in turns feeds Mikael Lustig; the hosts are dinking the ball about in impressive fashion but are they missing the threat of absent strikers Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths?

  17. Kool Krispublished at 24 mins

    Celtic 0-0 Rosenborg

    Kristoffer Ajer, 19, has been given a rare Celtic start tonight and the Norwegian defender has had a quiet game so far with most of the action at the other end of the pitch.

    Sofien Moussa

    There is one Scottish League Cup first round group game tonight.

    Sofien Moussa has fired Dundee ahead against hosts Cowdenbeath in Group C, with on-loan Celtic midfielder Scott Allan getting the assist.

  20. CLOSE!published at 22 mins

    Celtic 0-0 Rosenborg

    Hang on a minute. Rosenborg spring to life as Konradsen finds Jensen but his efforts is blocked... spins in the air and out for a corner.

    Celtic clear their lines from the set-piece but a warning sign for Brendan Rodgers' side.
