Temperatures have cooled after reaching a scorching 30 degrees at kick-off time..
35'
Good run from Hendry to force a corner. Griffiths delivery is flicked on but Athens clear.
33'
CLOSE! McGregor with a low cross for Griffiths who turns it around the post from close range in a central position, he should have done better from there.
32'
After the defeat to Hearts at the weekend, this has been a testing week for Rodgers.
30'
Rodgers urges his side on, they are having plenty of possession. And have Dembele on the bench for plan B.
28'
CHANCE! Rogic collects it around 30 yards out and skips into the box but blazes his shot over the bar.
27'
GOOD DEFENDING: Last ditch from Hendry to head it clear and then Gordon races off his line to hoof it clear before being clattered by Livija.

23'
CHANCE! Rogic crosses it to the back post for McGregor on the stretch but he cannot steer it goalward.
22'
We have reached the midway point of the half and AEK are happy to absorb the pressure after Galo gave them the lead.
20'
The visitors have found their passing rhythm but have not tested the keeper enough. They have had 56% of the possession.
18'
The winner of this tie is in the hat for the Champions League playoff.

Griffiths is finding himself in more space but looks isolated leading the line.

14'
Celtic have a corner after Griffiths' free-kick is put behind. The set-piece is cleared though.
12'
CHANCE! Good spin by McGregor, who tees it up for Rogic on the edge of the box but he slips as he shoots and its comfortable for the keeper.
11'
Marinos Ouzounidis' side conceded only five goals at home in the league last season so this is a tough ask for the Hoops.
9'
CLOSE! Celtic opened up again, its lofted into the box for Klonaridis whose shot on the stretch goes narrowly wide.
-
8'
Tierney's cross is blocked for a corner. Griffiths' delivery is eventually cleared by the home side.
7'
Celtic did not close down quick enough and that is the worst possible start for the visitors. It doesn't change their situation a great deal, they still need a goal to force extra time and 2 to go through.
