  1. FULL-TIME Riga 0-1 Celticpublished at 19:53 British Summer Time 24 September 2020

    Celtic leave it late but they are through to the play-off round next week thanks to that Mohamed Elyounoussi goal.

    It turned into the Jeremie Frimpong Show in the second half and the exciting teenager set up the breakthrough moment.

    Beer Sheva 1-0 Motherwell

    Similar to large parts of the first half, Motherwell are well in control here. But they are going to have to make these spells count if they want their Europa League journey to continue.

    What a game Frimpong has had, he's been the star player tonight and it's a great ball across from him. What a relief for Celtic.

    It's that man Jeremie Frimpong again.

    The teenager hammers in a low cross from near the corner flag and Mohamed Elyounoussi races on to it to steer the ball into the corner with a first time shot.

    Four minutes of stoppage time for Celtic to negotiate.

  5. Aberdeen face 'formidable task'published at 19:47 British Summer Time 24 September 2020

    Sporting v Aberdeen (20:00)

    Aberdeen turned in an impressive display to beat Viking 2-0 in Norway.

    That made it six successive wins for Derek McInnes's side but that run unravelled rather horribly on Sunday, with Motherwell knocking in three first-half goals at Pittodrie.

    With LASK or Dunajska Streda waiting in the play-off round, McInnes said: ""If you delve into Sporting's squad and the quality they have to chose from, it is a formidable task, there is no doubt about it.

    "But the excitement of being here and taking on such an opponent is why we work so hard to get into Europe every year.

    "We are going to have to do a lot of things right in the game, defend well, have a good level of concentration and confidence in possession."

  6. Card happy...published at 19:46 British Summer Time 24 September 2020

    Beer Sheva 1-0 Motherwell

    The referee hasn't been shy in showing his cards tonight.

    Just the eight shown so far with four coming in the opening 10 minutes of the second half.

    I'm not sure if Edouard has been struggling from an injury he didn't look like his usual self tonight. That little bit of sharpness Celtic had has gone. Nervy times.

  8. Big chance for Motherwell!published at 19:43 British Summer Time 24 September 2020

    Beer Sheva 1-0 Motherwell

    That's a huge chance...

    It's almost a carbon copy of the first goal as Liam Polworth's deep free-kick is met by Declan Gallagher, but the captain gets it all wrong.

    He will be so disappointed, it was a free header!

  9. Elyounoussi on for Edouardpublished at 19:42 British Summer Time 24 September 2020

    Riga 0-0 Celtic

    Now that's a surprise. Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard is withdrawn, with Mohamed Elyounoussi joining the attack.

    Edouard has been surrounded by defenders all evening and just couldn't fashion a chance.

  10. CLOSE!published at 19:41 British Summer Time 24 September 2020

    Riga 0-0 Celtic

    Jeremie Frimpong is terrorising the Riga defence and he's so unlucky when his low cross slaps off the shins of a defender inside the six yard box and the ball goes straight into the prostrate keeper's arms.

    It's been better from Celtic but they need to keep increasing the tempo. They can look to cross it more now with Ajeti supporting Edouard.

    Riga 0-0 Celtic

    The visitors have had 72% possession this evening but Riga remain a threat and shot from the edge of the box is blocked by Shane Duffy.

    Can Motherwell find a way back?

  14. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 19:33 British Summer Time 24 September 2020

    Riga 0-0 Celtic

    Albian Ajeti nearly scores with his first touch as a great run and cross from Jeremie Frimpong has the home defence scrambling. The keeper gets the slightest touch on it and that puts the ball slightly behind the Celtic sub, who can only divert the ball onto the post from close range and Roberts Ozols dives on to the loose ball.

  15. Ajeti on for Celticpublished at 19:31 British Summer Time 24 September 2020

    Riga 0-0 Celtic

    Neil Lennon adds more firepower by replacing Olivier Ntcham with Albian Ajeti.

  16. Crude challenge from Kamesspublished at 19:30 British Summer Time 24 September 2020

    Riga 0-0 Celtic

    Vladimirs Kamess is lucky to get away with a yellow card for a horrible hack at Scott Brown. No attempt to play the ball, with the studs on the Celtic captain's calf.

    The Riga manger will be very happy with the commitment he's seen from his players defensively. Celtic need to try match them with their effort, they've looked slack all night. This could be a nervy last 15 minutes.

  18. CLOSE!published at 19:24 British Summer Time 24 September 2020

    Riga 0-0 Celtic

    Ryan Christie lines up a free kick 25 yards out and he tries to zip it in at the keeper's near post. The goalie gets down smartly to keep it out.

    Riga 0-0 Celtic

    Odsonne Edouard almost wriggles his way through a cluster of defenders at the edge of the box but a home player manages to get a slight nibble on the ball.

  20. HALF-TIME Beer Shiva 1-0 Motherwellpublished at 19:20 British Summer Time 24 September 2020

    That's a sore one for the Steelmen, who had been doing so well. Still, there's plenty of time to rescue the tie.
