HALF-TIME!
44'
One minute of additional time to be played at the end of the first-half.
43'
Celtic
OFFSIDE! A delightful low cross from Griffiths finds Rogic in the penalty area but he can only poke it straight at the goalkeeper. It wouldn't have counted anyway - the linesman had his flag raised.
41'
Celtic
A long kick from the hands of Gordon allows Celtic to break on the counter attack with Griffiths the target - he shows great strength to hold off his marker before firing a shot at goal but Cillessen makes a comfortable save.
40'
Celtic
A tempting deep cross is played into the Ajax penalty area from Mackay-Steven but they somehow hack away the danger.
39'
Celtic
Forrest wins Celtic a corner as his attempted cross is blocked. The home fans are right behind their team.
38'
Celtic
A number of fouls deep in the Celtic half takes the momentum from Ajax and allows the hosts to catch a breather.
37'
Ajax
Ajax are back on the attack as Dijks whips in a cross but the Celtic defence do well to clear the danger.
35'
Celtic
SIDE NETTING! A foul is committed by Ajax in the centre of the park but the referee plays the advantage as Griffiths is played behind the away defence in a wide position but he can only fire the shot into the side netting when a square pass across goal was the better option.
34'
McGregor tries to beat Tete on the wing by sheer raw pace but the Ajax full-back wins the battle on this occasion.
33'
Celtic have struggled with deliveries into the box from set pieces in Europe this season but they have survived the latest scare.
32'
Ajax
The Dutch leaders continue to put pressure on Celtic as they win a corner...
31'
Ajax
SO CLOSE! The home fans have their hearts in their mouth as a curled effort from Younes almost finds the top corner. Fortunately, for Celtic, the ball carries just a little too much and it goes narrowly over the bar.
30'
Ajax
Ajax are seeing a lot of possession at the moment. The most recent attack is well defended by the hosts as Tete's cross fails to beat the man at the near post.
29'
Celtic
Griffiths collects the ball in space for Celtic but his intended pass to a team mate in space is well cut out and the chance is gone.
28'
Celtic
27'
Celtic
A searching cross played in by Tierney is headed well clear by Van der Hoorn.
26'
Celtic
24'
Ajax
A long, ambitious run and shot from Forrest forces Cillessen into a rather comfortable save as the Celtic man just couldn't get enough power on his effort from distance.
23'
Celtic
Celtic are punished for some really poor defending and they have it all to do again.
22'
Ajax
GOAL - Celtic 1-1 Ajax! Milik levels the scores with a tap in after Fischer's initial shot is saved but he finds his team mate with the rebound who was left with an easy finish.
