Quote MessageThe big chances are going to keep coming in this game by the way these two teams play.
Bayer Leverkusen 1-2 Celtic
Ajeti is involved instantly, he's charging down on goal with options right and left.
He plays in Mikey Johnston on the left, but the winger can't get an effort away.
Heading towards the final 10 minutes. How are you feeling, Celtic fans?

Nir Bitton is down again. He's going to have to come off.
James McCarthy is on to replace the midfielder. Albian Ajeti is also on the pitch, the striker is on for Kyogo.

Joe Hart. Again.
This one is a more straightforward save, one you expect him to make, as Adli drills one down his throat.
The Celtic keeper parries over before comfortably saving a header from the resulting corner.

Nir Bitton is fine to continue.
The Israeli midfielder is back on the pitch as Celtic aim to hold out.

Stoppage in play as Nir Bitton is down after a clash of heads.
Mikey Johnston and Liel Abada are stripped and ready to come on in the meantime.
Jota and James Forrest make way.

Cameron Carter-Vickers is in the book for a foul on Florian Wirtz.
That means he's out for the final group game against Betis. Could be a huge miss.

Including stoppage time, there could still be over 25 minutes to play in Leverkusen.
Celtic need to be strong. This could be a coming-of-age night for Postecoglou's side.

Celtic need to be alert defensively but they are getting space on the break as well now with Leverkusen pushing forward.
David Turnbull attempts to slide in James Forrest, the winger is in, but he's thwarted by a crucial sliding challenge from Jonathan Tah.
Big, big tackle.

Hearts-in-mouth stuff from Celtic.
Josip Juranovic almost sells the jerseys by giving the ball away, but Cameron Carter-Vickers is there again to break up the attack.
The Celtic centre-back has been excellent.

Jeremie Frimpong is threatening again, he gets to the byeline but his cross takes a nick and is cleared.
The former Celtic wing-back has been lightening in attack, but that lapse for the goal there highlights the contrast in both sides of his game.
How two-footed is Jota as well, by the way?
Ridiculous finish.
How important might that double save from Hart turn out to be now?
Just minutes between that and Jota's goal.

Quote MessageWhat a goal that is! Talk about the importance of having a confident goalkeeper, Joe Hart was exceptional to start the move.
Jota
What a finish!
Joe Hart starts a Celtic break with a stunning punt upfield. The visitors get into the box with excellent one-touch play, but Jeremie Frimpong looks like he's cut it out.
However, the ex-Celtic man slips and Kyogo tees up Jota, who rattles a fantastic left-foot strike across the keeper into the far corner.
Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Celtic
Phenomenal double save from Joe Hart!
First he denies Moussa Diaby with his feet as the French forward charges into the box.
The ball breaks to Adli, who looks certain to score with Hart on the deck, but the Celtic keeper springs himself to towards the ball and smothers.
Excellent goalkeeping.

Celtic's first venture into the Leverkusen half in this second period wins them a free-kick.
David Turnbull's delivery is good, but German defender Jonathan Tah gets a big header on it.
