  1. Celtic 1-0 Real Betis

    Diego Lainez has not endeared himself to the home fans in the opening half hour and there are huge cheers of approval as Liam Scales catches the Betis winger on the ankle with a late, sliding challenge.

  2. Celtic 1-0 Real Betis

    Joaquin finds room for a shot 25 yards out and his effort whistles by, with Scott Bain watching it all the way.

  3. Celtic 1-0 Real Betis

    Albian Ajeti can't continue and the striker is shaking his head in frustration as he limps round the pitch.

    Kyogo Furuhashi is on. Not much of a rest for the Japanese striker then.

  4. Celtic 1-0 Real Betis

    Albian Ajeti does well to charge down a kick from the dithering Betis goalkeeper and the loose ball cannons not far wide of the target.

    Uh-oh. It looks like the Celtic striker has damaged a hamstring in the process.

  5. 'No intent to harm from Soro'

    Soro swings his arm back. But it is not to throw an elbow, its to shrug him off to continue with the game. He'd be so unlucky to get anything more than a yellow card.

  6. VAR check for potential red card

    Celtic 1-0 Real Betis

    Ismael Soro is being held back and the Celtic midfielder grazes Diego Lainez below the chin with a swinging arm as he shakes him off.

    VAR has a look and both men are booked.

    Correct decision.

  7. 'Great save from Bain'

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    Great save from Bain, he was quick and sharp and recovered quickly to kick it away. Abada needs to get on the same wavelength as his defender to prevent this from happening.

  8. Celtic 1-0 Real Betis

    The Spaniards are on top at the moment as Scott Bain beats away a shot from Cristian Tello and the keeper is up quickly to kick clear.

  9. Celtic 1-0 Real Betis

    More good work from Osaze Urhoghide as he puts in a juddering tackle on the edge of his own box. That one will register on the Richter scale.

  10. 'Huge chance'

    Celtic 1-0 Real Betis

    James McFadden
    Former Scotland forward on BBC Scotland's Sportscene

    It's a huge chance for Betis! Welsh tries to overplay it and gets caught out. I'm going to credit Urhoghide instead though, because he does so well to get back and put him off.

  11. CLOSE!

    Celtic 1-0 Real Betis

    Celtic are caught short at the back as Stephen Welsh gives the ball away. Two passes and Real Betis are in, with Mexican winger Diego Lienez firing wide with a shot on the slide.

    Osaze Urhoghide did well to get back and apply some pressure.

  12. Celtic 1-0 Real Betis

    Real Betis legend Joaquin is 40, yes 40, but he still knows how to shimmy as he gets away from a couple of players to ping over a cross. Easily dealt with by the Celtic defence though.

  13. 'Last chance saloon for Ajeti'

    Celtic 1-0 Real Betis

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    It could be last chance saloon for Albian Ajeti, he needs to make himself busy tonight.

  14. Celtic 1-0 Real Betis

    The Celtic second string are playing at a fair clip. That's the way boss Ange Postecoglou likes it; fast and furious from minute one.

  15. 'Good movement from Welsh'

    Celtic 1-0 Real Betis

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    Celtic have a bit of height and strength in the box. It's good movement from Welsh and a powerful header. What start!

    Stephen Welsh

    Another corner and this time Liel Abada's lovely cross is flicked home by the head of Stephen Welsh.

    The perfect start for Celtic's young guns.

  17. Celtic 0-0 Real Betis

    Corner to Celtic after a dangerous cross from Liel Abada is hacked away. From the the winger's second delivery the ball drops for Liam Shaw but a defender pokes in a foot before he can shoot.

  18. KICK-OFF

    Celtic 0-0 Real Betis

    Celtic have won just twice in this competition, beating pointless Ferencvaros home and away.

    Before dropping into the Conference League, can Ange Postecoglou's much-changed side sign off with a win?

  19. 'Celtic team super excited to get out there'

    Celtic v Real Betis (20:00)

    Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou told BT Sport: "I didn't count the changes but it's a very different line up. Great opportunity for them. We want to reward them for how they've trained and we will see how it goes.

    "We have a heavy schedule ahead so we need to rotate the team.

    "I can assure you none of the guys in Celtic shirts will think this a dead rubber. They're super excited to get out there, hopefully making an impact on the game. We are in good form at the minute so hopefully we can keep that going.

    "You saw with Liam Scales, he was on for 15 minutes on Sunday and scored on his debut. I don't know if he dreamed that, so that's the type of thing that can happen."

  20. Celtic v Real Betis (20:00)

    Celtic have lost their last seven matches against Spanish opposition. Can they halt that run this evening?
