Celtic 1-1 Midtjylland
Lots of scuffling inside the six yard box as Celtic defend a corner. The home side can't clear at the first attempt but Ismaila Soro steps in to mop up.

John Collins
Former Celtic assistant manager on SportsoundQuote MessageIt's an important time in the game now. The manager will be looking to his bench thinking about some fresh legs maybe, especially in the final third.

John Hartson
Former Celtic striker on BBC Radio ScotlandQuote MessageCeltic need to work on their delivery from their full-backs. It's that little bit of quality from the likes of Ralston, those deliveries can be so important for your forwards.

PENALTY APPEALpublished at 70 mins
Celtic 1-1 Midtjylland
The Danes are caught napping from a short corner and Celtic players are screaming for a spot-kick as Hoegh diverts a cross from Ryan Christie behind. The home players are all pointing to their arms, but the referee thinks differently, pointing to his chest.
A close one.

John Hartson
Former Celtic striker on BBC Radio ScotlandQuote MessageCeltic should have had men on the post and they'd have cleared that maybe. Perhaps the goalie could have done better and it is an incredible strike but they shouldn't be conceding there.

Evander
Well, Celtic had a warning from Evander just moments ago and now the Brazilian pings in a tremendous free-kick.
From around 10 yards in from the byline on the left, the ball screams into the far top corner.

It should have been 2-0 and now Celtic are breathing a big sigh of relief that it's not 1-1 as a rocket shot from Evander whistles just past.

John Collins
Former Celtic assistant manager on SportsoundQuote MessageOnce again it is Ryan Christie at his very, very best. Takes the ball and faces up his opponent straight away, the pass into Edouard was great and he really should have scored it.

Celtic 1-0 Midtjylland
More good work from Ryan Christie and Odsonne Edoaurd is in the clear with only the keeper to beat. However, the striker has two defenders chasing him down and can only prod a weak shot at Jonas Lossl.

There are big spaces opening up now as Ryan Christie surges forward from midway and finds David Turnbull with a pass. Turnbull has a blast but Erik Sviatchenko gets in the way.

John Hartson
Former Celtic striker on BBC Radio ScotlandQuote MessageWell played to the referee there, well done! How often do we see it around Europe? So many people dive and so many go unpunished. Rightly so he gets two yellow cards for diving.
RED CARD - Dreyer (Midtjylland)published at 56 mins
Celtic 1-0 Midtjylland
It's 10 v 10 as Anders Dreyer is sent off for his second act of simulation.
The Midtjylland winger was booked for the dive that led to Nir Bitton's dismissal and now he's at it again with a pathetic tumble near the penalty box.
