Red Bull Salzburg actually scored a late winner against RB Leipzig in the other game in the group, which means the Austrians have just pipped Celtic to top spot in Group B after the opening fixture. The Hoops will surely just be pleased to be off to a winning start.
FULL TIME: Celtic 1-0 Rosenborg
Celtic have made tough work of this, but it looks like they will come away with three points in the end, which will give them a good platform in this difficult Europa League group.
Three minutes of stoppage time at the end of the match.
A massive goal for Celtic in the context of this Europa League group. They really, really needed that goal. This is a tough group and they needed three points from this opening game.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Celtic 1 (87 mins - Leigh Griffiths) Rosenborg 0. Finally! Celtic have got the goal they have laboured to find! They went direct, with Boyata knocking on a Brown long ball for Griffiths, who headed into the corner of the net! How Celtic needed that goal!

Celtic need their big players to step up here. They have been poor this evening, but there's still time for them to rescue the situation and claim the win they so desperately need.
A neat little pass from Tierney saw McGregor get to the byline, but his cut back into the box is cleared. Celtic have really lacked a cutting edge in front of goal so far this evening.
In other news... RB Leipzig have fought back from two goals down to level at 2-2 in the Red Bull derby, which is the other game in this Europa League group this evening.
The home fans inside Celtic Park are growing increasingly frustrated. Boyata was looking for a pass there, but there wasn't an option ahead of him. Moans and groans...
Rosenborg are improved from the team that visited Glasgow in the Champions League qualifiers earlier in the season, but make no mistake this would be a poor result for Celtic.
It's just not happening for Celtic in front of goal this evening. They have struggled to create chances, but what they have created has been spurned, as demonstrated just moments ago.
Johnstone scoops over! That was the chance for the youngster! Tierney picks out the run of Johnstone inside the box, but he scoops over his finish from about 10 yards out.
Time is running out for Celtic here. They are dominating the ball, but aren't doing much with it in the final third. Griffiths does seem to have given them some fresh energy, though.
Thunderous! That was close from McGregor. He had the shooting opportunity from 20 yards out, he got great purchase on the strike, but his effort flashes just wide of the near post!
Here's the change and Griffiths comes on for Edouard.
Finally, it looks like Rodgers is about to throw on Griffiths. He's getting ready on the Celtic bench, but it doesn't really look like there's any great urgency. What's going on here?
