Rangers start strongly, but struggle to break Spartak down
Cunha & Bruma capitalise on poor defending to give RB Leipzig win over Celtic
GET INVOLVED #bbcsportscot
It was all going rather smoothly for Celtic for the first half hour but then the home side conjured up two goals inside three minutes thanks to some seriously shoddy defending.
A mountain to climb for Brendan Rodgers' side now...

Quote MessageCeltic have to get their defensive organisation together - they're under the cosh. Half time can't come quick enough for them
RB Leipzig 2-0 Celtic
It's a full-on siege now as Cristian Gamboa and Craig Gordon both make desperate blocks to deny Kevin Kampl inside the penalty box.

Quote MessageThey'll be gutted going into half time 2-0 down. Celtic really don't deserve it.
Bruma
This time the cross is from the left but the theme is similar as the Celtic defence make a real hash of dealing with it and the ball bounces off Olivier Ntcham for Portuguese winger Bruma to drill a low shot beyond Craig Gordon.

That goal was coming. Despite a good start to this match from Celtic there was no doubt that in the last five minutes RB Leipzig had upped their game and were asking more and more questions of Celtic. A real shame for Kouassi to fail to stop that cross after his otherwise positive start to the match.
Matheus Cunha
Oh dear. Celtic fail to deal with a cross from the right as Eboue Kouassi swings at it and misses and Dedryck Boyata stands still, perhaps stunned by his team-mate's error.
Matheus Cunha has ample time to control the ball and smash it past Craig Gordon.

Another attempt from Matheus Cunha, another shot miles off target. This time from just inside the penalty box.

Quote MessageCeltic have real energy tonight, young players coming out with no real fear. They have that energy to close down in abundance. Will they be able to sustain it? That's the question. The way the game's panning out at the moment, Celtic are dominating.
RB Leipzig 0-0 Celtic
Perhaps rattled by his failed attempt to dupe the officials, Matheus Cunha lets fly with a shocking effort that sails high and wide.

RB Leipzig 0-0 Celtic
Odsonne Edouard shows good strength and skill to make his way into the penalty area from the left but the big striker is eventually crowded out and is deemed to have fouled an opponent in a bid to win the ball back.

A huge night for Lewis Morgan to really take his chance and so far so good. He's looked a real bright spark playing up alongside Odsonne Edouard, the pair almost conjuring a goal. The midfield diamond system also looks to be working. Kouassi is the defensive base and he has started in sure-footed fashion.
RB Leipzig 0-0 Celtic
Callum McGregor swings a free kick into a busy penalty area and a muddled clearance falls to Olivier Ntcham but the Celtic midfielder can only fire high over the target from 20 yards.
RB Leipzig 0-0 Celtic
Lewis Morgan makes up ground down the right and threads a pass to Odsonne Edouard in the penalty box. The Celtic striker beats his man but his low, angled strike slips narrowly wide of the far post.

Quote MessageIt's a big challenge for Simunovic tonight. Celtic have to blend together as a unit and show good communication
RB Leipzig 0-0 Celtic
RB Leipzig are pressing really high up the park and Celtic are coughing up possession under pressure. The visitors need to find a few passes and settle the early nerves.
RB Leipzig 0-0 Celtic
Three corners already for the hosts, who have started in lively fashion. Dedryck Boyata with a nod clear near his goal-line from the second of those.

Flares being set off by some Celtic fans and they are now being warned by the stadium announcer to put a halt to it. Smoke hugely obscuring the view in the stadium. Celtic have faced fines from Uefa for this sort of thing in the past.

It's just as well Celtic have those bright jerseys since it's hard to see through all of the smoke... Here we go.
