    I think because of the scoreline they can afford to make those changes. If it was 1-1 those players may have struggled on. Especially with Mikey Johnston. He doesn't look as though he took a heavy knock.

    Is that the night over for Mikey Johnston? Yup. Another Celtic player walks off gingerly and Lewis Morgan is about to come on his place.

    The Sarajevo bookings are mounting up. That's three now as Besim Serbecic stops a scampering James Forrest in his tracks.

    A worry for Celtic as new signing Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo limps off to be replaced by Jonny Hayes.

    A second away goal leaves Celtic in complete command of this tie. It will be a weight off Neil Lennon's shoulders as things looked pretty shaky after FK Sarajevo's opener.

    Credit to the visitors. They have reacted calmly and firmly asserted their superiority.

    The manager might want them to kill the tie entirely but I'm sure they'd happily take this result back to Glasgow.

    Edouard got the ball inside the box and we were waiting to see when he would strike it. But he delayed and delayed, people went to ground and then he just clipped it over the goalkeeper. A really good finish.

    Odsonne Edouard

    Scott Brown tears in to steal the ball from the toes of a dithering home player and Celtic pop three quick passes together as Odsonne Edouard collects from James Forrest and cleverly delays his shot until the goalie is off balance.

    Nir Bitton is lucky to avoid a booking as it looks like he's getting done for pace near halfway and hauls his man to the ground. One of those 'good fouls' to give away.

  10. KICK-OFFpublished at 46 mins

    The rain has eased off as the second half starts. Can Celtic build on the promise shown in the latter stages of the first half?

  12. Gerrard praise for Rangers' mentalitypublished at 19:46 British Summer Time 9 July 2019

    FT: St Joseph's 0-4 Rangers

    Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is pleased with the patience his players showed in their routine win over St Joseph's a little earlier.

    "I thought we showed a fantastic attitude and mentality," he told Rangers TV. "These places are tough. You come here, the conditions are tough, the pitch is tough. They put a lot of men behind the ball, break up play, make fouls and slow the game down.

    "A lot of things were against the team and they set us a challenge to go and beat the block, but I thought we showed fantastic patience and eventually we took one of our chances and then the game changes in our favour. We go on from there and build and keep showing really good quality to go and finish the game off."

  13. What now for Musemic?published at 19:44 British Summer Time 9 July 2019

    HT: FK Sarajevo 1-1 Celtic

    Do Hearts fans remember Sarajevo boss Husref Musemic? He wasn't in Edinburgh very long but he did head in a derby winner against Hibs back in 1989.

    How will he approach the second half? The home side could only defend their lead for about five minutes. Will they be a bit more bold after the break or remain cautious and try to nick another goal?

    Neil Lennon will be disappointed with the goal Celtic lost but he'll be delighted with the response. Mikey Johnston's goal was sensational.

    All square at the interval. Celtic fell behind from a set-piece but swiftly hit back with a fabulous goal from Mikey Johnston.

    James Forrest had a good opportunity to make things brighter still for the visitors but shot over the top.

    Now, with the away goal, Celtic are in a good position. They're playing well and their confidence is up, their movement is much better.

    We're into two minutes of stoppage time. Celtic in possession and looking more assured.

    Neil Lennon's faith in Mikey Johnston has been instantly repaid, just when it looked like turning into a 'looking through the cracks of your fingers night' for Celtic fans.

    The game and atmosphere have changed completely and Johnston deserves all the credit. It was a wonderful strike from distance.

    Celtic can settle now in the knowledge that the away goal puts them very much in the driving seat.

    The chances are starting to flow and home confidence has been severely dented.

  19. Forrest fluffs his linespublished at 39 mins

    FK Sarajevo 1-1 Celtic

    A big chance for Celtic to go in front. Odsonne Edouard slips a nice pass in behind for James Forrest to run on to. The winger stabs it with his his weaker left foot and the shot rises over the top. He really should be hitting the target from there, pretty much one-on-one with the keeper just inside the box.

    I thought he had lost the opportunity as he twisted with the defenders in that narrow little hole. But suddenly he came out with the ball and hit it with that right foot. It's the first time Celtic have hit a really good strike on goal and it has flown past the goalkeeper.
