  1. Tiring Saints?published at 20:16 British Summer Time 26 August 2021

    St Johnstone 0-0 LASK (agg 1-1)

    LASK are gradually starting to probe this Saints backline more and more.

    You worry the home side might be tiring with the energy they've put into this.

    All they need is one chance. One moment.

    LASK are picking up the second ball in really good areas. It's a good connection on the ball, but an even better save again from Zander Clark

  3. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:15 British Summer Time 26 August 2021

    St Johnstone 0-0 LASK (agg 1-1)

    This is why Zander Clark is in the Scotland squad!

    Again a long throw is dealt with poorly by Saints, as a failed clearance falls to Hong Hyun-seok, who leathers a volley towards goal, but Clark is there to get strong palms to it.

    Aberdeen 0-2 Qarabag (agg 0-3)

    The visitors are in total control. Aberdeen can't get near them. Three corners in a row at the Merkland end are defended, but it's a struggle.

    I think Middleton could have taken a touch, but he's maybe trying to catch the goalie out a bit. More of that is needed from St Johnstone, keeping the pressure on the goalkeeper

  6. Postpublished at 20:14 British Summer Time 26 August 2021

    St Johnstone 0-0 LASK (agg 1-1)

    LASK goalkeeper Alexander Schlager has been far from convincing.

    He flaps at a Shaun Rooney cross and the ball is helped back in towards Michael O'Halloran, but the forward is offside.

    Great save from Zander Clark. After it, James Brown did really well to defend against the second ball coming in from LASK

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:10 British Summer Time 26 August 2021

    St Johnstone 0-0 LASK (agg 1-1)

    Another huge moment from Zander Clark.

    A long throw breaks out to midfielder Peter Michorl, who chests the ball and fires towards the top-left corner.

    But the Saints goalkeeper is at full stretch to tip away.

  9. HALF-TIME AZ Alkmaar 2-1 Celtic (agg 2-3)published at 20:04 British Summer Time 26 August 2021

    Celtic are still leading in the tie, but two howlers have them in trouble.

    Kyogo furuhashi's early Celtic opener was quickly wiped out as Joe Hart's blunder allowed Zakaria Aboukhal to level before Carl Starfelt's horror own goal put the Dutch ahead on the night.

    A massive second 45 beckons.

  10. KICK-OFF SECOND HALFpublished at 20:04 British Summer Time 26 August 2021

    St Johnstone 0-0 LASK (agg: 1-1)

    St Johnstone are 45 minutes away from making history - their first appearance in a European group stage.

    But so are LASK - aiming for a third season in a row.

    Saints will be ruing the fact that the away goals rule has been scrapped this season!

    GOAL! Aberdeen 0-2 Qarabag (agg: 0-3)published at 20:02 British Summer Time 26 August 2021

    Kady Borges

    It looks suspiciously offside, but Aberdeen are being taught a lesson here.

    Qarabag are so slick on the counter. Zoubir slips through Kady Borges and he finishes calmly beyond Joe Lewis.

    Mission impossible surely now for Aberdeen.

    At some point, I suspect Wotherspoon will come on for St Johnstone. He'll bring a calmness that is needed, he'll get touches on the ball and calm it down when need be

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:00 British Summer Time 26 August 2021

    AZ Alkmaar 2-1 Celtic (agg 2-3)

    Much better from Joe Hart as the goalkeeper dives to his left to tip AZ striker Zakaria Aboukhal's angled drive wide.

    Callum Davidson will be praising his players in the dressing room right now. LASK started well, but he'll be pleased with how his side didn't concede in the opening stages. He will know a bit more is required in order to win it, though

    The offside flag saves Celtic as Teun Koopmeiners picks out full-back Yukinari Suguwara, who cuts inside Adam Montgomery before slicing wide from point-blank range.

  17. Dons toilingpublished at 19:57 British Summer Time 26 August 2021

    Aberdeen 0-1 Qarabag (agg 0-2)

    Aberdeen are living dangerously. Qarabag are playing some lovely stuff.

    They work it right and the cross comes to Kady Borges six yards out and the Brazilian midfielder somehow stumbles over the ball and the chance is gone.

    The way St Johnstone are playing is difficult to play against. It's like someone's thrown a grenade on the pitch and they're all just diving on top of it. They need to target the LASK goalie more. He looks like he just flaps at it all the time

  19. ouch!

    Ouch!published at 19:55 British Summer Time 26 August 2021

    AZ Alkmaar 2-1 Celtic (agg 2-3)

    Celtic's Anthony Ralston and Zakaria Aboukhlal are both down receiving treatment after a hefty collision.

    AZ striker Aboukhlal's challenge was late and earns him a booking.

    LASK look like they can create opportunities, but St Johnstone have limited them very well. Murray Davidson is having a great game, breaking it up in the middle. They need to settle down a little bit and give better passes in the final third
