Hello and welcome to our LIVE text commentary of Manchester City's final Champions League group stage clash with Celtic from the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola's men are already guaranteed to qualify for the last 16 in second place behind Group C winners Barcelona. Celtic also have very little riding on this, but will be eyeing a first win of this season's competition. Even such an occurrence will not lift them off the bottom of the group, however. I'm Pete Hall, and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, LIVE!

A game with only pride at stake produced a real spectacle in the first half, if the second saw less goalmouth action. City finish the group stage in second, but we knew that before kick off. Two wins from six will hardly cause their next round opponent to panic. Celtic finish their campaign winless, which will disappoint Brendan Rodgers, as they have competed well in most of their matches. Thanks for joining us. Full report and reaction on site. Goodnight
90+2'
FT: Manchester City 1-1 Celtic. The Battle of Britain clash ends in a draw after an entertaining encounter at the Etihad.
90'
Two minutes of added time...
89'
Sane appeals for handball, but the referee is having none of it. Strange decision from Sane to try and square it, rather than shoot from close in.
87'
CLOSE! From the resulting free-kick, Sane fires at goal, which just flies wide. Gordon looked beaten, despite it being on his side.
86'
Iheanacho runs at the heart of Celtic's defence, but Brown upends him to bring the move to a halt. Yellow card.
84'
Fernando, who hasn't had the best of games tonight, lashes the ball well wide when he had options waiting for the cross.
83'
SAVE! Superb move from Celtic. Mackay-Steven is in, he has time to pick his spot. but Caballero sticks out a hand to keep the ball out. Fine stop.
81'
Brilliant play from Sane as he skips past one challenge before firing a dangerous cross into the box, but it evades everyone and is cleared.
79'
Gundogan is the next player into the book for a cynical, late challenge. Can have no complaints.
78'
CLOSE! Fernando again gives the ball away, Mackay-Stevens squares for Griffiths, but he side-foots wide from a great position.

Action around the city today...
76'
City are really struggling to create anything at the moment. Sane has really faded, while Navas has done little to inject any energy into the hosts.
74'
Rogic with a robust challenge on Nolito. You get penalised for those in the Champions League.
73'
Leigh Griffiths, who scored five goals in getting Celtic to the group stages, comes on for Dembele.
71'
Armstrong again the outlet down the right, but he cannot make inroads this time.
70'
Crowd trying to rouse City, but the game has gone really flat now. Celtic still pressing.
-
As it stands, Arsenal will top group.
68'
Scott Brown is penalised for a foul on Gundogan. Has been a good battle between those two tonight.
66'
NO GOAL! Great play from City. Nolito sprays the ball out to Navas, who drills the ball back in the Spaniard's direction. He fires home, but the offside flag is raised and the goal is ruled out.
