Celtic 1-2 AC Milan
Jeremie Frimpong has been Celtic's best player and the wee left-back speeds to the byline and into the penalty box again, but his low ball into the six-yard box is cut out at the front post.
Celtic knocking on the door.

Well, well, well. Celtic have really given themselves a chance here. What a difference the change in formation has made. Celtic look so much more relaxed

Much better from Celtic in the last few minutes. They've started to find some nice combinations. Elyounoussi just couldn't get his foot over the ball for that shot

Milan don't seem too bothered about creating much going forward.
They seem content to soak up anything Celtic throw at them and so far they are keeping the hosts at a safe arms length as they look to protect that healthy two-goal lead.

Celtic 0-2 AC Milan
Clever play from Jeremie Frimpong and the right-back finds Ryan Christie with space to aim for goal, but the Scotland midfielder's 20-yard drive is way too high.
At least Celtic are beginning to create some chances.

That's more promising from Celtic. They got two players out wide there and played it nicely. Laxalt is unlucky he just can't keep the shot down

The slackness continues at the back for Celtic.
A poor pass out of his own box from Shane Duffy and Zlatan Ibrahimovic turns inside the penalty box before the big striker and Jeremie Frimpong go down in a painful heap and the home side escape with a free-kick.
