  2. 'It was either Athens or Cork - we are happy'published at 22:11 British Summer Time 1 August 2018

    FT: Rosenborg 0-0 Celtic (agg 1-3)

    Rodgers: "I will watch Athens now we are playing them. They are 11 human beings like us and it will be a difficult game for both sides. After this game there are another two rounds to go, but if that's what it takes to get through, then that's what we will do. It was either Athens or Cork and we are happy with Athens."

  3. 'The first leg is at home which is important'published at 22:10 British Summer Time 1 August 2018

    FT: Rosenborg 0-0 Celtic (agg 1-3)

    Rodgers added: "Rosenborg came to Celtic Park last year and it was 0-0, so when we came here we expected them to push. We showed a maturity and I told the players I am very proud of them. We will play better football and we need to be cleaner with our passing and build-up, but you have to show resilience and defend, and I think we did that well.

    "They are all tough games no mater which round. We have got through and the first leg is at home and that is going to be very important for us. We have been really aggressive at home in my time here. If you're positive at home you can get a scoreline that will get you through, which is what happened in this tie."

  4. More European action tomorrowpublished at 22:07 British Summer Time 1 August 2018

  5. Rodgers satisfied as Celtic progresspublished at 22:02 British Summer Time 1 August 2018

    FT: Rosenborg 0-0 Celtic (agg 1-3)

    Brendan Rodgers on BBC Radio Scotland: "Rosenborg had to put risk into the game.

    "We had a two-goal advantage and didn't play well in the first half. The last 15 minutes the ball was coming into the box but our centre-halves were outstanding.

    "You can't always play perfect football but to keep a clean sheet is very pleasing."

    From a defensive point of view, Celtic did most things right tonight. Craig Gordon had a good game while Jack Hendry and Kristoffer Ajer showed a good positional sense, because the threat was there from Nicklas Bendtner. They were the two best players for Celtic tonight.

    Michael: Job done for Celtic. Professionally negotiated that assignment. AEK will prove a stiffer test but they are through and that’s what matters. Another good night in Europe for Scottish sides

    I'm sure AEK Athens will have more firepower than Rosenborg, but it's all there for them, and I'm sure it will be a great atmosphere at Celtic Park again.

    Celtic have had much more control in the second half and they have been able to play six or seven passes, which is what you expect from them.

    Four minutes of stoppage time begin.

    Rosenborg 0-0 Celtic (agg 1-3)

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    Nicklas Bendtner is up and he has got his arm across Craig Gordon's head which is why a foul was given. Gordon really has to be strong there and punch it away because, on another day, the referee doesn't give him the credit.

    Defender Kristoffer Ajer picks up Celtic's first booking of the evening.

    Rosenborg 0-0 Celtic (agg 1-3)

    Rosenborg are throwing more men forward as time runs out.

    Goalkeeper Craig Gordon comes out to claim a cross and is met with a robust challenge by Nicklas Bendtner, whose header finds the net only for the referee to award a foul.

    Nicklas Bendtner looks forlorn in the Rosenborg attack. He has had a very quiet night so far.

    Mike Jensen fouls Tom Rogic near the penalty area and Celtic have a decent free-kick opportunity.

    Olivier Ntcham takes it but the midfielder's effort is deflected wide.
