    James McCarthy is on for Ismaila Soro. Not the Celtic midfielder's finest shift.

    It's a second phase ball and Celtic didn't react at all. Juanmi is the first on to it after running off of Rogic who isn't alert.

    Juanmi

    Celtic are collapsing now.

    Juanmi get his second of the night. David Turnbull's header clear from a corner is weak, and Juanmi lets it bounce before cracking a shot in off the post.

    Great technique. Celtic suckered.

    Borja Iglesias

    Borja Iglesias adds a goal to his assist and Betis are in front!

    Absolutely abysmal defending from Celtic. Nobody gets near Sergio Canales who has all the time in the world to pick out Iglesias, who runs across his man to finish.

    A nice, deft touch from the striker.

    Dearie me, Juanmi is inches from putting Betis in front for the first time.

    Jota is slow in tracking Juan Miranda, and his delicious cross flashes right across the Celtic goal.

    Juanmi can't stretch enough to steer the ball home.

    Good start by Celtic.

    Tom Rogic and David Turnbull combine, and the latter puts Albian Ajeti through a gap in the box. The Swiss striker cuts in but he takes too long to shoot and his effort is blocked.

    Right, what awaits in the second half? Incidentally, it's Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Ferencvaros in the other game in the group.

    The Bundesliga side have levelled.

    The Postecoglou way is ambitious, adventurous and high risk. Celtic fans will have great fun watching this team attacking and pretty stressful moments watching them defensively. For the first goal the defence is soft, it's shy, no one's taking command.

    After 25 minutes you think Celtic's record of no wins in Spain was about to be over. Could, and should, have been 3-0 and it didn't seem to matter how many players they were missing. They were so committed to attacking though, they got caught out defensively.

    Betis have an incredibly experienced team. You can see that in the way they played too. The challenge for Celtic, in this sort of heat too, is if they can keep up the same level they started at.

  14. HALF-TIME - Real Betis 2-2 Celticpublished at 18:33 British Summer Time 16 September 2021

    What a game. Celtic raced into a 2-0 lead thanks to Albian Ajeti and Josip Juranovic's penalty.

    But Betis scored twice in two minutes to respond. Juan Miranda and Borja Iglesias finishing fine moves.

    All to play for.

    Great last-ditch defending from Cameron Carter-Vickers to get his head to a cross, denying Borja Iglesias a shot at goal.

    And a minute later he slides in to stop Joaquin firing a shot from inside the box.

    Understandably, the tempo has dropped somewhat just before half time.

    Amidst the madness, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Nabil Fekir have been booked.

    Quality from Iglesias to slide it to Juanmi in the six-yard box. Carter-Vickers should have tracked his run instead of trying to play him offside.

    This has been classic Celtic this season. Brilliant to watch going forward, frantic and loose at the back.

    Great for the neutral.

    Some of Celtic's football so far have been magnificent. For them, the test is now to see if they can try and find some of their control in the game again.

    Juanmi

    Quality.

    It's a great ball from out to in to pick out Borja Iglesias on the run, and he squares for Juanmi to tap home from a few yards out.

    This game is crazy. Celtic sickened.
