  1. Betis get the better of Celtic in seven-goal thrillerpublished at 19:53 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2021

    Celtic v Real Betis (20:00)

    Celtic's five previous group games produced 23 goals, starting with a cracker against tonight's opponents in Seville.

    The visitors were 2-0 up after an Albian Ajeti finish and Josip Juranovic's penalty, but Anthony Ralston's late header was mere consolation after a four-goal blitz inside 21 minutes from the Spaniards.

    Real Betis have second place sewn up and cannot catch leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

    The visitors are in good form on the back of that 1-0 victory against Barcelona at the weekend, which lifted them to third in La Liga.

  4. Betis make nine changespublished at 19:46 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2021

    Celtic v Real Betis (20:00)

    Given Betis are guaranteed to finish in second spot, Manuel Pellegrini makes nine changes to the XI who beat Barcelona 1-0 at the weekend.

    Goalkeeper Rui Silva and full-back Aitor Ruibal are the pair who won't be getting a rest.

  5. Celtic change entire XIpublished at 19:42 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2021

    Celtic v Real Betis (20:00)

    Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou certainly meant it when he said there would be changes.

    Not a single player who started the 3-0 win against Dundee United is in the starting XI tonight.

    Summer signing Osaze Urhoghide, a defender, makes his debut, as does his former Sheffield Wednesday team-mate Liam Shaw, who can play at centre-back or in midfield.

    Liam Scales came on to score the third goal at Tannadice and gets his reward with a first start, too.

    Kyogo, David Turnbull, Callum McGregor, Mikey Johnston, and Josip Juranovic drop to the bench.

    Another chance for Rangers - and it's a good one, with Joe Aribo bearing down on goal and poking the ball beyond the uncertain goalkeeper, but there's a defender around to clear up.

    One last chance for Rangers? Ryan Kent finds room to hammer in a low cross from the left but Juninho Bacuna can't get on it as it fizzes across the face of goal.

    A rare second-half attack from Rangers as Nathan Patterson slashes a shot wide.

    Soon after, Joe Aribo does well to wriggle away from a couple of challenges but his inviting ball across goal can't find a team-mate.

    Rangers look a bit sloppy at set-pieces. The manager looks a bit animated at them, as if the players aren't really doing their jobs properly.

    Another corner, another free header, as Da Silva's effort is deflected wide.

    From the next delivery, Rangers are struggling again and Steven Davis needs to hack clear from the goal-line!

    Calvin Bassey is caught dwelling on the ball by Bruno Guimares but Connor Goldson is alive to the dangers and bails out his defensive partner.

    Into the last 10 minutes of regulation time we go. Are we going to get a winner here? The game is bobbing back and forward at a brisk pace but neither side is busting a gut.

    Roofe has been out with an injury and got a good few minutes. Joe Aribo is game changer though. It would have to be big money to get him in January!

    More changes. Lyon take off Moussa Dembele and Maxence Caqueret, bringing on Islam Slimani and Bruno Guimares.

    The first booking of a largely low key game goes the way of Nathan Patterson for blocking off the run of Henrique.

    Kemar Roofe has done his bit for Rangers and on comes Joe Aribo.
