Back to Parkhead for these two next time. Join us then!
- 90'
They had the chances and had a man advantage for nearly an hour. Varga's chance was perhaps the turning point but the Belgians deserved their win for their manful effort.
- 90'
That Champions League away curse strikes again. Three games left and Celtic need to win all three.
- 90'
Handball shout. But not given. A vain hope...as is Celtic's chance of winning through to the next round as the ref puts the whistle to his lips.
- 90'
Free-kick given for a Thompson handball. The game looks up for the Bhoys.

Ball hacked up from Anderlecht. Hedman will do the same. Larsson runs out of space on the edge of the box.

Hendrix booked for timewasting. The sub hasn't touched the ball yet.
- 90'
Four minutes added. They are vital to Celtic's Euro campaign.
- 90'
The Belgians waste time with a sub. Off comes Kolar and on comes Tihinen - once of West Ham.
- 89'
Desperate stuff from Celtic. Sutton and Miller fighting hard but it's only a goal-kick for Anderlecht. Added time approaches.
- 88'
And off sets Aruna who has just Valgaeren to beat. He gets in a shot and Hedman has to concede a corner.
- 87'
Chance to launch a throw-in. Miller shows real vision in finding Hartson in space in the box. But Zitka is there when he shouldn't have had a chance.
- 87'
Miller tried to run through but there's no chance to make a run. No joy. The Irishman has continued to sparkle.
- 85'
Agathe beats Kolar but no-one attacks his cross. Hartson angry at the service he's receiving.
- 84'
There's some tired legs out there. Kompany, outstanding all night, is just 17 - he must be tiring. Can Celtic benefit from that extra man?
- 82'
Sutton wins a throw. But Anderlecht are fighting hard for everything.
- 82'
Miller showing neat touches. Celtic mounting pressure. Agathe's cross is cleared. Anderlecht will hold the ball with Aruna. Back to the keeper it goes.
- 80'
More composure now as Thompson flicks on for Miller to run on. But the shot is scuffed. A shame for Celtic.
- 80'
Hedman hammers long. Celtic looking ragged. But Sutton holds up lay.
- 79'
Celtic need a goal desperately now. And off will come Neil Lennon for Liam Miller. An in-form Irishman needs to show his mettle.
- 77'
Cross from Kolar is claimed by Hedman. Larsson gets a chance to turn and shoot. Zitka claims with a little difficulty.
- 75'
Weary header from Petrov. This is not looking good for Martin O'Neill's men.
- 74'
Sutton's flick towards Larsson. Zitka gets the ball and is fouled. He decides to play vigilante and lashes out at Larsson who is then booked. What did I say about the ref having a good game?
- 73'
Wilhelmsson again a threat but Hedman gets the ball. Celtic facing a considerable onslaught.
- 72'
Thompson's kick is headed away. Aruna got away but controlled the ball with his hand. The Ivory Coast man has been a real threat all evening.
