    Juan Miranda

    Betis back in it!

    That's why you need to take your chances. Juan Miranda and Nabil Fekir combine in the box and the former slots the ball past Joe Hart.

    There was a touch of fortune about the ball falling to Miranda, but it's a composed finish.

    Juan Miranda's deflected shot rattles off the outside of Joe Hart's post!

    This game is fantastic. All action.

  3. GREAT SAVE!published at 29 mins

    Real Betis 0-2 Celtic

    David Turnbull is on FIRE.

    He plays through Jota, who is clean through on the right. He turns in, tries to dink Claudio Bravo, who manages to stick his hand up and make the save.

    Celtic should be out of sight. Jota's final touch was just a bit heavy.

    The goalie goes the right way but the pace and the power of the penalty beats him. It's a pressure penalty and a great penalty.

    Josip Juranovic (pen)

    Emphatic.

    A few eyebrows raised when Josip Juranovic stepped up to take this one, but the Croatian right-back smashes it to the goalkeeper's right.

    It finds the corner. Great finish.

  6. PENALTY CELTICpublished at 25 mins

    Real Betis 0-1 Celtic

    Another great move and Albian Ajeti is played through, before being brought down by Betis goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

    Not much contact, but Bravo is nowhere near the ball and Ajeti is forced to jump.

    Should Ange Postecoglou be thinking about taking Ismaila Soro off here? James McCarthy is on the bench, but he's not played many games since joining.

    Soro just seems like a red waiting to happen.

    Ismaila Soro is pretty luck here. He went into the back of Joaquin, and the Betis players surrounded the referee, only for Andres Guardado to be booked for his protests.

    Soro escapes. He's already been booked. Long way to go too.

    Joe Hart comes to Celtic's rescue and he probably will have to do it a few times today. It's from a set-piece and Celtic's lack of height allows Betis to attack it comfortably.

    Joe Hart to the rescue!

    He throws himself to his right and pushes away Andres Guardado's header which was creeping in.

    Up the other end and Tom Rogic fires just over after another Celtic counter. Breathless stuff.

    It's been a really good start from Celtic. Even when they lose the ball they're pressing Betis well and winning it back.

    In the other match in this group, Ferencvaros are leading Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 in Germany.

    It's a goal they've deserved. Celtic have controlled the game with their high press, Betis haven't been comfortable playing out. Good slick passing from Celtic and Aljeti is exactly where he should be to get on the end of it.

    Albian Ajeti

    It's given!

    They took an age, but it's the correct decision. David Turnbull's terrific pass found Jota, who attacked his man and whipped in a terrific ball.

    It hits of Ajeti's chest and goes in. It was initially ruled out for handball by Ajeti, but VAR has overturned the original decision. Scenes.

    Albian Ajeti has a shot from out wide which is well blocked by Victor Ruiz.

    A very lively game so far, both sides knocking it about. Nothing comes from the resulting corner.

    Ismaila Soro has already given away a couple of free kicks and now goes in the book for tripping Nabil Fekir.

    It's daft from the young Celtic midfielder to pick a card up this early.

    Joe Hart's turn to sweep up after a ball over the top, but a delayed flag goes up against Nabil Fekir.

    Honestly don't know why they wait so long to call offside these days. Bizarre.
