FT: Jablonec 2-4 Celtic
Celtic are in a good position for the return leg next week, where they'll have the backing of their own fans.
The positives were brilliant performances from James Forrest, and Liel Abada out wide. Kyogo Furuhashi looked promising and scored a debut goal.
The negatives were the shocking defending for the goals, an unconvincing display by Joe Hart, and more missed chances. BUT, it's a win.

Jablonec 2-4 Celtic
Joe Hart just doesn't look sure of himself at all. A ball in behind should be his, but he hesitates, which allows the attacker to shoot.
Fortunately for the Englishman he makes the save.

Ryan Christie
A diving header!
Well, that's a boost for Celtic. Just as though it looked as though they'd shot themselves in the foot again.
James Forrest lifts the bouncing ball to the front post, and Christie gets across his man and dives to nod home. Another sigh of relief for Celtic.

GOAL - Jablonec 2-3 Celticpublished at 84 mins
Nir Bitton (own goal)
Oh dear.
It's just another straightforward ball over the top, and Tomas Malinsky latches onto it.
He fires his shot across goal, and it hits Nir Bitton before looping into the top corner.
It'll go down as an own goal, I think. Celtic causing their own problems.

It's Jablonec who almost score! Anthony Ralston gets caught in position on the right touchline, and Houska's cross is almost tapped home in the middle of the box.
Joe Hart gathers, though.

Final 11 minutes. Can Celtic put this tie to bed?
The substitutes are certainly making an impact.

Celtic look keen for more goals here.
Tom Rogic has been pressing high in midfield since his introduction and the visitors are knocking the ball about well as Ryan Christie is fouled with a late challenge.

James Forrest lofts a shot over the bar at the back post. It came at him really quickly to be fair.
Nice play by Odsonne Edouard to tee up Greg Taylor for the cross.
Ryan Christie was inches away from tapping home before the ball made its way to Forrest.

Charlie Mulgrew
Former Celtic defenderQuote MessageIt's a good finish at a great time for Celtic just when they were under a wee bit of pressure. Jablonec have committed people forward and left themselves a bit vulnerable at the back and Celtic have capitalised. This tie's done now

A triple sub after the goal by Ange Postecoglou. Edouard, Rogic and Christie are all on, with Furuhashi, Turnbull, and Abada making way.

GOAL Jablonec 1-3 Celticpublished at 63 mins
James Forrest
Big goal.
As Jablonec commit more bodies forward, Celtic strike on the counter. Liel Abada does really well to surge in behind, turn back inside and force a save from Jan Hanus.
James Forrest is on hand to scoop the rebound into the top corner.
And breath, Celtic fans.
