Evening all, and welcome to Celtic v Valencia!

Sinclair beats Piccini with some gorgeous footwork but the defender comes back at him, and the attack duly breaks down with a loose pass.

Valencia will be delighted with how this is going. They're starting to relax into their passing game.

I'd love to have some action to describe, but there really isn't any. Two poor teams paying poorly, so far.

Burke is about a fortnight late on Diakhaby in centrefield, and somehow avoids a booking. Lucky boy.

I guess that a slow start isn't so bad for Celtic because Valencia don't really have the firepower to have at them once they settle, just the midfield to control things.

Bit of possession for Valencia inside the Celtic half, and then Christie flattens Kondogbia, who's happy to take the free-kick.

It's pretty quiet. which isn't what Celtic want. They need to get up, get the crowd up, and use the energy to force their way through Valencia, because the slower the game the more it favours the visitors.

McGregor pushes through midfield and unloads a low shot that Neto can only shovel away; Csltic force a corner, which comes to nothing.

Celtic are pushing the pace here. Valencia drew drew 0-0 with Sociedad at the weekend, and Marcelinho said they looked tired. He's doing without Gamerio and Mina, his two strikers in that one, for this one.

Now Lato appears in the final third, curling over a cross which Boyata heads away.

Well! Forrest bursts past Lato and into the box; he's already on his way down, pleading for yerman to help him on his way and he sort of does ... but not by sufficient degree to concede a penalty.

The camera angle is vertiginous.

Off we go!

Celtic huddle. All the difference.

A minute's silence for Emiliano Sala.

The Europa League arch is in place. Incredible scenes. In the standing corner, there's a tifo thing saying "Riddle me this, riddle me that, who's afraid of the big bad bat?" How do they think of these things?

Here come the teams!

Just for the record, Ibrox is a nosier and more aesthetically-pleasing ground than Parkhead, now that you ask.

The lights are off and You'll Never Walk Alone is playing. I'm choking up here.

Wild.
