Boli Bolingoli gets forward to send a header narrowly wide of the CFR Cluj goal. It must have taken a touch off a home player as it's a corner.

CFR Cluj 1-1 Celtic
The pace of the game has dropped somewhat. There will be a lot of tired legs.
Celtic will be happy if it stays this way but in the meantime they have an injury to contend with as Jozo Simunovic pulling up on the turf.

CFR Cluj 1-1 Celtic
CFR Cluj are enjoying more possession in this second half and Celtic are not helping themselves by continually giving the ball away.
The hosts commit a foul and the referee then goes over to book home manager Dan Petrescu for dissent.

'Bolingoli not up to it'published at 19:55 British Summer Time 7 August 2019
CFR Cluj 1-1 Celtic
Tom English
BBC Scotland's chief sports writer"Celtic were looking a bit nervy. At the goal, Boli Bolingoli is done for pace, for awareness, for lack of appreciation for danger.
"And you begin to think it's a little bit hairy now because Celtic have given up a goal and a few chances early on, but a brilliant response.
"Bolingoli - I think defensively he could be a revelation. In Europe I don't think he is up to it. If Kieran Tierney is away what do Celtic do?"

It was starting to look like a difficult first half for Celtic but that James Forrest goal has changed the complexion of the match and indeed the tie. Neil Lennon's side now have the advantage of an away goal and will be in a strong position if they leave Romania with this scoreline.
