Play by play
- 90'
Celtic have a famous win. Their Champions League campaign has life. Goals from fledgling Liam Miller and the excellent Chris Sutton, both created by Henrik Larsson, give them three points. Roll on Anderlecht.
- 90'
Edmilson, tired and emotional, concedes a corner. Taken short, nice skill from Petrov and the ref blows his whistle.
- 90'
Lyon happy to keep the ball. They want nothing except the whistle to blow. Martin O'Neill regaled from the stands.
- 91'
Ninety minutes are up. Celtic playing champagne stuff. Until Balde lumps the ball long - more his style.
- 89'
Elber in space, but can only nod at Hedman. The crowd enjoyed his flop. Don't diss Henrik in the East End of Glasgow and not expect to be pulled up on it.
- 88'
Edmilson fouled by Larsson. The Brazilian looks in pain.
- 87'
The dirge that 'You'll never walk alone' rings out.
- 87'
Diarra's ball out wide is poor. Lyon look all but done in.
- 86'
Miller hustles Dhorasoo. Varga heads away. Elber's snapshot knocked behind by Hedman.
- 85'
Essien ran out of play. Celtic's powerplay has thwarted any funny business from the Lyonnais.
- 84'
Petrov's corner flicked on by Sutton....onto the side of the post. Celtic rampant.
- 83'
Coupet has to clear his lines as Miller chases him down. Edmilson concedes a corner under pressure.
- 82'
Lyon have failed to threaten. Celtic in deserved cruise control.
- 81'
'You are my Larsson, my Henrik Larsson...' and a cuss of Alan Shearer rings out. Larsson holds off the Lyon defence. What was it that Elber said? Ole time for the Celtic fans.
- 79'
Thompson booked for complaining about Diarra's clear elbow on Sutton. The Frenchman booked too - it should have been red.
- 78'
Celtic in dreamland. Martin O'Neill pogo-ing on the touchline. Don't think he'll fancy Spurs now.
- 78'
Larsson's ball from the left after he made great space. Chipped up for Sutton and he nods in the second. 2-0!
- 76'
Spoke too soon...Bayern equalise.
- 75'
A stray pass shows Lyon's confusion. Anderlecht lead Bayern so this group could be all square come full-time.
- 74'
Agathe tackled in the corner. Those Fields of Athenry get anothe chorus.
- 74'
Thompson clears Essien's pass. Sutton pushes hard to press the Lyon back four's possession.
- 73'
Muller clears a long Thompson hoof. Lyon need to put pressure on now - they've shown little since the early part of the game. Balde heads behind Corner to the French.
- 71'
Larsson fouled. Celtic Park rocking. Lyon played fouled as the Bhoys push hard for another.
- 69'
A young Irishman has given Celtic a deserved goal - and a lifeline in their group.
- 69'
Celtic deep in Lyon territory. Larsson gets round the back after thirty or so passes....and Miller heads the ball down and into the net. 1-0 to Celtic!
