So, thanks for your company - night.
21:43
So AEK have an away goal to take home to Athens, and well did they earn it. Celtic will still be confident of progressing on the basis that they're the better team, but it'll be a struggle. The second leg is next Tuesday.

Full-time: Celtic 1-1 AEK Athens
90+4'

Nice from Celtic, Tierney and Ntcham working it between themselves until there's a space, Ntcham opening a shooting lane and unleashing a curler which flies just over the far top corner. It would've been a brilliant goal, and is the closest Celtic have come this half. That's not good enough.
90+3'
Tierney is announced as man of the match and rightly so. He's been excellent.
90+3'
Tierney clips the corner for Forrest on the edge of the box, but his volley skews wide.
90+2'
Sinclair drives for the line and Bakakis concedes the coorner.
92'
Forrest squares to Ntcham on the edge of the box, but Galo ploughs through his touch and AEK get the ball away again.
90'
More nothing. There'll be five additional minutes.
89'
Barkas claims the corner nicely, then goes down claiming a bump on the head from Hendry.
88'
Nothing happening; AEK have killed this brilliantly. Every restart takes half an hour, fouls at all the right times. But here's Edouard, pulling left, only for his cross to be easily bumped behind.
86'
Celtic win their second corner of the night and Griffiths curls it in from the right, but Barkas is up to flap clear.
84'
Ntcham out to Tierney, who swings in another decent cross, but Lampropoulos thighs it clear.
84'
They really aren't. They've been very disappointing second half.
83'
This has been a pretty decent display from AEK, who didn't fold when Celtic were at it, took their chance brilliantly, and now look pretty comfortable despite being a man down.

McGregor feeds into Griffiths inside the box, and Oikonomu is in quickly; the ball zips out to Ntcham, who opts for a sidefooter, which makes the save easy for Barkas.

final change for AEK: off goes Klonaridis, the goalscorer and on comes Galo.
80'
Celtic haven't made a single decent chance this half. It can be hard to remember that watching Celtic TV, but it's true.

Sinclair replaces Lustig; Ponce replaces Linaja. Stop sniggering.
