Highlights

End of 2nd Half

FULL-TIME!

Odsonne Edouard's double helps Celtic to a 3-1 victory on the night and Brendan Rodgers' side will travel to Norway next Wednesday hoping to finish the tie off.

90'

TWO minutes will be added on.

88'

EDOUARD IS ON FIRE

Your defence is terrified (sorry).

86'

Not just content with the three goals Celtic are still intent on throwing bodies forward in search of a fourth, knowing another one would put this tie to bed.

83'

CELTIC HIT THE WOODWORK, AGAIN!

McGregor's free-kick delivery finds the head of Hendry whose glancing effort whacks off the crossbar.

That is the third time this evening Celtic have struck the woodwork.

82'

YELLOW CARD!

Meling, Rosenborg's goal-scorer, charges into Gambao who was driving forward with some intent on the flank.

80'

Into the final 10 minutes and Celtic are stroking the ball around with some confidence. Another goal would make sure of their place in the third round qualifying round.

78'

Celtic have been hugely impressive in the second-half - and they deserve their two-goal cushion. The home supporters are in fine voice, too. Celtic Park truly is a special place on a European night.

76'

CELTIC SUB: The home side's first of the evening. Tom Rogic replacesthe impressive Ntcham.

GOAAAAALLLLL! Celtic 3-1 Rosenborg

Edouard, again! Ooooh, what a strike which possibly kills this tie. Released by Forrest, he races clear and lobs the ball over Hansen. The flag stayed down but the Celtic forward looked offside!

ROSENBORG SUB: Alex Gersbach replaces Helland for the visitors.

But Brendan Rodgers is yet to make a change in personnel...

70'

Celtic are completely dominant and they have had more than their fair share of chances to put this tie to bed. Will they be left to rue those missed opportunities?

68'

CROSSBAR!

Ntcham is a whisker away from scoring his second of the evening. His swerving shot from distance is tipped onto the woodwork by Hansen!

67'

Soderlund's tackle has generated some discussion on social media, with plenty of tweeters suggesting the Rosenborg substitute should have seen red.

66'

YELLOW CARD

And now Ntcham is cautioned for a foul on Soderland.

65'

YELLOW CARD

Talk about making a first impression! Soderland goes into the back of Brown - it's a nasty challenge - and he receives a booking.

62'

ROSENBURG SUB: Soderlund replaces Lundemo.

61'

CHANCE!

Sinclair is in the mood - he is determined to get on the score-sheet. And he almost does. From a tight angle he tries to find the top corner with a clever effort which forces Hansen into a fingertip save.

58'

MISS!

Celtic are purring now. And they almost score a third. They should score a third.

Edouard is really living up to his price tag tonight. He drifts into a wide position, drives at the defender and cuts the ball back to Hendry inside the box. The chance falls to the wrong man as he scuffs his shot wide.
