Griffiths' inswingig corner is met by Dembele at the back post, who leapt well, but his downward header bounces over the bar.

78'
It's been all Celtic for the past 10 minutes, but still no breakthrough.
74'
Dembele almost bundles his way through but can't quite get to the ball before the onrushing goalkeeper.
72'
A Griffiths free-kick sails over everyone, with Ajer going to ground at the back post. He complains to the referee but isn't getting the decision he wants.
70'
A half-cleared cross drops for Demeble, who elects to hit the bouncing ball first time, and he hits it over.
66'
Griffiths is on too, replacing Johnston. Tierney looks to have slotted into a three-man central defence now.

56'
Suduva spring a nice counter-attack which culminates in Slavickas finding Cicilia with a smart cutback which the striker takes first time. Gordon is equal to his side-footed shot though, tipping over the bar.
54'
Ntcham slips in Dembele, who had made a nice run, but the Frenchman lashes into the side-netting.
52'
Simunovic is hurt and unable to continue, so on comes Lustig.
