Goes without saying, Celtic need a spell in this lead.
Keep passing it, keep moving it, keep Lazio working.

Eh, that might be worth a VAR check. Or not.
Reo Hatate and Elseid Hysaj challenge for a high ball before the Lazio left-back catches the Celtic man with a late swing of the arm.
Play on...

Hmm, that's a half chance for Daizen Maeda.
The Japan forward uses all his pace to get in behind the Lazio defence, but his first touch takes him away from goal and the finish is, eh, rubbish.

Felipe Anderson glides past Greg Taylor, but Liam Scales is on hand to nearly put the former West Ham winger into the stand with a crunching tackle.
Gets the exact reaction you expect.

Some of Celtic's passing out from the back under pressure has been top notch so far.
No nerves on show.

BBC Sport Scotland at Celtic ParkWhat. A. Noise.
Lovely one-touch passing gets the perfect finish from Kyogo.
And the noise when the ball hit the net? Ear-crushing. Wow.

Pat Bonner
Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC SportsoundBeautiful goal from Celtic.
He beats the offside trap perfectly, and then right through the keeper's legs.

Former Celtic striker on TNT SportsA wonderful goal from Celtic, brilliant play.
And that man doesn't miss from there, brilliant finish under the goalie.
Great start for Celtic. The pass from O'Riley is exquisite.
GOAL! Celtic 1-0 Laziopublished at 20:12 British Summer Time 4 October 2023
Kyogo Furuhashi
What a move!
Daizen Maeda punches a pass into Matt O'Riley, who cushions superbly first time into the path of Kyogo.
All he has to do is deliver a one-touch finish, and doesn't he just.

The delivery comes in from Matt O'Riley, but it's poor in all honesty.
Celtic keep coming though...

First period of proper pressure for Celtic.
Rapid one-touch play ends with Kyogo having a shot blocked before Callum McGregor wins a corner.

James McFadden
Former Scotland forward on BBC SportsoundCeltic haven't managed to get that fast start in possession, but they're fully committed in the press.
They've done that really well, and I'm sure there will be openings for Celtic.

Yang's quick, but he ain't that quick.
Greg Taylor looks for the wide man over the top, but there's far too much on it.

Foul given. Nae card.

Lazio play through Celtic's press a bit easily and Luis Alberto looks to play through Ciro Immobile.
Waaay too much on it though.

BBC Sport Scotland at Celtic ParkWe've only played a couple of minutes, but Celtic's high press means Maeda, Kyogo, Yang and Hatate have already covered most of their opponents half of the field chasing the ball down.
High-energy start.

That was a bit easy.
A long ball over the top gets Lazio forward Felipe Anderson in behind, but he's closed down just in time by Liam Scales.
Looks like the flag is up anyway.

Lazio knock the ball across their backline quite calmly, but Celtic are all over them.
Greg Taylor gets a big cheer for closing down a pass wide on the left.

Away. We. Go.
As expected, Celtic Park is jumpin'.
