    I was really surprised by Astana and how they came out. I think they were still bruised by the thumping of last week. Once they got the goal, their tails got up. Credit to Celtic, getting through that. They didn't get flustered. It was a fantastic finish by Scott Sinclair.

    "The opening goal gave the home side a flicker of hope but Sinclair's sublime equaliser extinguished it. Ntcham and Brown have been assured and calming in the middle of the park for the visitors and for Celtic, it's now about keeping their unbeaten run going."

  3. HALF-TIME Astana 1-1 Celticpublished at 45+2 mins

    It's now 6-1 to Celtic on aggregate on what has been a largely comfortable evening in Kazakhstan.

    Brendan Rodgers' side conceded for the first time in qualifying but Scott Sinclair hit back swiftly and in some style.

    Ivan Maevskiy gets plenty of power behind his long range strike but it whistles wide, with Craig Gordon watching it all the way.

    Craig Gordon is at full stretch to push over a header from Marin Anicic as Astana threaten from an in-swinging corner.

    Celtic should be in front. Kieran Tierney makes his way forward and ghosts past his man to deliver a lovely cross from James Forrest. He throws himself at the header from eight yards but powers the ball wide.

    Scott Sinclair

    He missed the easier chance moments ago but Scott Sinclair shatters any hopes of an unlikely comeback by cutting in from the left and curling a beauty into the opposite top corner from the edge of the penalty area.

    Astana 1-0 Celtic (agg 1-5)

    A sloppy pass from Scott Brown has Astana charging forward again. A fizzing ball into the "corridor of uncertainty" is not far away from the stretching Junior Kabananga.

    Here comes Scott Sinclair with the chance to reply and silence the crowd. The keeper is off his line swiftly and is able to make a good block from the Celtic winger's shot.

    "Horrible deflection but after the two in Glasgow last week, the Kazakhs were perhaps due some luck. How will this change the dynamic?"

    That will give them hope and it will be a little test for Celtic.

    Uh-oh. A lifeline for the hosts. Dmitri Shomko has a speculative blast from the left and Kristoffer Ajer takes an ugly swipe at it, diverting the ball into his own net.

    James Forrest darts forward on the right and his cross looks like finding Scott Sinclair near the penalty spot before a defender in yellow gets the slightest of touches. A spot of pinball in the box and the hosts clear.

    "Astana, so far, looking like a side going through the motions. If the manager's plan was to go out in search of an early goal, he forgot to tell his players."

    And here come Celtic again. This time it's Callum McGregor with the shot from the left edge of the box and Nenad Eric makes a showy diving save, pushing the ball away from the lurking Scott Sinclair.

    An ambitious effort from Junior Kabananga, who turns and lets fly from 25 yards. A wee fumble from Craig Gordon, who gathers at the second attempt.

    Suddenly Celtic are motoring up the park on the counter-attack. Callum McGregor slips a pass to Scott Sinclair inside the penalty box but the winger takes a shade too long and then slips while shooting and his effort is blocked by a covering defender.

    Nir Bitton is slack with a pass at the back, giving his manager and team-mates a scare. However, the danger is snuffed out and the Israeli make amends soon after with a good tackle inside the penalty area.

    Astana need to make an early change as Laszlo Kleinheisler is replaced by Srdan Grahovac.

    "Astana happy to sit off Celtic in these early stages. No real pressing of the back four. The visitors looking very assured so far."
