Scott Sinclair
Game on... Kieran Tierney gallops down the left and clips in a lovely cross for Scott Sinclair to power home with a stooping header.

Celtic now looking tired and it’s little wonder. There’s been no faulting the work-rate but the Greeks frustrate them time and time again. Colossal defensive display from the home side but Celtic’s Champions League nightmare is worryingly close to becoming a reality.

Quote MessageIt's really difficult to create chances against this AEK Athens team, they're really well drilled defensively. They get bodies into good areas and their centre halves are good organisers.

A huge cheer from the 30,000 or so inside the stadium as AEK skipper Mantalos comes on in place of Klonaridis.

Celtic still have 20 minutes to find the two goals they need but the AEK defence is a formidable unit.

Here comes Moussa Dembele and it's a bold switch, with the striker taking over from right-back Mikael Lustig.
Looks like a 3-5-2 for Celtic as they chase they game.
AEK Athens 2-0 Celtic (3-1)
Jozo Simunovic does well to meet a Kieran Tierney cross and flash a header on target but keeper Barkas reacts well to throw up a hand and keep the ball out at his near post.
AEK Athens 2-0 Celtic (3-1)
A brilliant run and cross from Callum McGregor down the left and his low cross looks destined for Leigh Griffiths to tap in at the far post but full-back Bakakis is able to hook the ball away facing his own goal inside the six yard box. Fantastic defending.
AEK Athens 2-0 Celtic (3-1)
Celtic need two goals or they are dropping into the Europa League. When will we see Moussa Dembele? The striker has not played since picking up a hamstring injury after scoring twice against Alashkert on 18 July.

Quote MessageIt's just basic defending. You knew exactly what was going to happen. It's just a high ball in there and the defence is out-jumped and then doesn't react to the second header.
Marko Livaja
It's a hammer blow for Celtic and again it's poor defending. A free-kick from deep catches the visitors napping as Jack Hendry is outjumped and the ball is nodded to Livaja, who is unmarked in the six yard box to head home with power.
AEK Athens 1-0 Celtic (2-1)
Leigh Griffiths shows great tenacity to rob one of the powerful AEK central defenders but the visitors can't profit from the striker's good work and are pressed all the way back to goalkeeper Craig Gordon.
