GOAL Salzburg 1-1 Celticpublished at 55 mins
Mu'nas Dabbur
The growing home pressure pays off as Mu'nas Dabbur is able to stab home a cut-back from Hannes Wolf, with Mikael Lustig looking a bit slow off the mark to close the midfielder down as a header from Takumi Minamino drifted wide.

What a goal from Edouard. He'd not scored in eight and he delivered inside two minutes. It was Edouard at his best. Salzburg are a classy side and they are getting in behind, but they can't execute. That's down to Celtic's hunger

Leigh Griffiths is best known as a goal-hungry poacher but he's digging in and doing the dirty work this evening as his average position on the park shows.

It's been a great first 45 minutes for Celtic. Obviously getting the early goal is a huge boost for any team away from home but Edouard took it well. I think that start sets it for Celtic. They've defended extremely well and restricted Salzburg to potshots.

HALF-TIME Salzburg 0-1 Celticpublished at 45 mins
This is Celtic's sixth visit to Austria and they could be on their way to a first victory thanks to that early goal from Odsonne Edouard.
Don't forget Salzburg have not lost at home since November 2016. Is an upset on the cards?

Odsonne Edouard could have released that ball a lot earlier. But I thought James Forrest did well to hit it first time and the goalkeeper did really well to save it low down.
DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 43 mins
Salzburg 0-1 Celtic
A second for Odsonne Edouard? No. The big striker is offside as he finishes off inside the box after the keeper does very well to get a hand to a low shot from James Forrest.
Edouard's strong, direct running caused chaos in the home defence there...
YELLOW CARD Hendry (Celtic)published at 18:40 British Summer Time 4 October 2018
Salzburg 0-1 Celtic
Time wasting at a free kick from Celtic defender Jack Hendry.
CLOSE!published at 41 mins
Salzburg 0-1 Celtic
Hannes Wolf lets fly from 22 yards and Celtic goalie Craig Gordon can only watch as the ball fizzes narrowly wide of the target.

Odsonne Edouard, he's got to hold onto the ball, he can't give it away. He's got to think defensively, and up front he's got to help his team-mates by holding the ball up.

YELLOW CARD McGregor (Celtic)published at 39 mins
Salzburg 0-1 Celtic
A clumsy touch from Odsonne Edouard gives the ball away in the Salzburg half and Callum McGregor is booked as he slides in late to try and win it back.

Is that really Leigh Griffiths back in defence, hacking a dangerous cross away? All of the Celtic players are putting in a shift to help preserve their lead.

Oooft... A great, low cross from Stefan Lainer skids across the face of Craig Gordon's goal but the sliding Takumi Minamino can't quite get there.
