Hello and welcome to LIVE commentary as Celtic face AEK Athens in the second leg of the Champions League qualifier, needing a goal to progress after a 1-1 draw at Parkhead. Kick-off is at 19:00 BST.

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.

GOAL FOR AEK! Galo with a low first-time strike inside the box after a low cross came in.

McGregor down the left finds Ntcham who tries an ambitious strike from 35 yards which is immediately charged down.

CHANCE! Klonaridis is in pleny of space down the left, he puts in a cross for Bakasetas whose diving header is well wide.

The home side, wearing yellow shirts with black stripes, look be lining up 4-2-3-1. A 0-0 draw would see them through and be a Greek tragedy for the Hoops.

KICK OFF: Celtic, in their green and white shirts, get the game underway in Athens.

Five minutes until kickoff in Greece!

AEK ATHENS: Barkas, Bakakis, Oikonomou, Lampropou, Hult, Alef, Simoes, Galo, Klonaridis, Bakasetas, Livija.

Rodgers, whose future as Celtic boss is uncertain if they crash out tonight, has refused to say whether Dedryck Boyata has played his last game for the club.

"It's more sad than a distraction. He's a player that we would have loved to have been here with

"It would've been great to have had him here, but he's not.

"We have to put the faith in the squad of players that want to be here and want to fight for the result and that's my focus, really - on the players that we have.

"It's disappointing some of the comments of course but we'll deal with it internally. My concentration and focus really is just to prepare the team for what is a big game and a fantastic game for us. That's my only consideration at this moment."

Six days ago, ten-man AEK snatched a 1-1 draw and an away goal after Galanopoulos's red card.

It's been a tough week for Brendan Rodgers. The good news is Moussa Dembele is fit enough to be on the bench. But Boyata is not available due to an apparent injury after being linked with a move to Fulham.

CELTIC XI: Gordon, Lusting, Simunovic, Hendry, Tierney, Brown, Ntcham, Forrest, Rogic, McGregor, Griffiths.
