15'
Johansen looks like he's ok but you have to worry about concussion. It looked nasty and with the injury hitting headlines recently, he maybe should be taken off for his own good. But here he comes back on...
14'
Johansen, not Bitten down. It looks very ugly indeed and the Celtic midfielder looks very dazed.
13'
Bad bad clash of heads in the middle between Tofan and Bitten who are both laid out in the middle of the pitch.
12'
Lovely one two with Nani and Tofan on the left but he carries the ball to the wing where Hasan is overlapping but there's little room to maneouvre and Celtic can again clear.
11'
Sen with a cross easily cut out by Bitton but his clearance is woeful and just drops to Meireles in midfield who can pile the ball forward and put more pressure on Celtic at the back.
10'
Lovely ball to the far post by Volkan as he takes it to the byline but Lustig does well to head clear with Nani loitering behind him.
9'
Fener now just holding the ball in midfield in an attempt to take the sting out of Celtic's very intense pressing.
8'
Lovely lofted ball over the top for Commons but it is headed clear. Then another cross from Lustig is fired into the box but the keeper catches with relative ease.
7'
Boyata absolutely steams through Van Persie on the half way line and the ref blows for a free kick.
6'
Fenerbahce trying to knock the ball down the left but Lustig is too strong for Nani and the Portuguese can only miscontrol it out of play.
5'
Commons tries to combine with Lustig down that right wing but Hasan Ali is equal to it and can clear.
4'
Strong start to the game from Celtic as they knock it long to the forwards but Fenerbahce are doing well to repel the pressure.
3'
Jamie Forrest from distance as the ball drops to him on the edge of the box and he hits it first time but it drags and goes wide.
2'
It really doesn't matter the occasion at Celtic Park, the noise is unbelievable as Celtic defend some early pressure from Fenerbahce down the right.

And we're underway here at Celtic Park as the referee toots his whistle and Celtic kick us off.
20:00
Five minutes to go before kick off now and the players are just coming into the tunnel before emerging out to a raucous Celtic Park.
19:55
They may well struggle to contain Van Persie but actually the Dutchman hasn't scored in any of his 11 UEFA Cup/Europa League appearances in his career.
19:50
19:45
Celtic have won their last three home games in Europe while Fenerbahce lost their opening Europa League match against Molde surprisingly. They'll need a result here to not be clawing back at the group as Ajax and Celtic both look strong.
19:40
So those are the line-ups. Celtic are without regular left back Izaguirre after his red card against Ajax on matchday one. Fenerbahce come off the back of a disappointing defeat to rivals Besiktas but play a near-full strength side with Robin Van Persie leading the line.
