Play by play
- 90'
Sylla gets the last touch. A flattering win for Milan and a bitter defeat for Celtic. The UEFA Cup again looks to be the place for them now.
- 90'
Sutton gets a chance to head at goal but heads over and wide. The game's up.
- 90'
Seven out of seven away games lost in the Champions League for Celtic. They've not shamed themselves but nor do they have any points.
- 89'
Now the misery is compounded. Pirlo free-kick seems to be deflected and Marshall goes the wrong way and can't get back to it. 3-1 to Milan. Hard on Celtic.
- 89'
A familiar story for Celtic in Europe. They've worked so hard to get back in the game and now Milan look to have the points. The move resulted from a Varga error - hard on the Slovak scorer.
- 88'
Shevchenko makes the burst down the right. His pace takes the defence apart and his cross is dragged across to Inzaghi. The poacher stick out a boot and under Balde. 2-1 to Milan!
- 87'
Long balls seem to be the order of the last five minutes. Sylla fouled by Shevchenko.
- 85'
Petrov shoots from distance. Well, well wide. Off goes Hartson. He's had a good night. Sylla's on. Rui Costa on for Gattuso for Milan.
- 83'
Momo Sylla waits in the wings. Sutton nods away a corner.
- 83'
Hartson seemed to win the ball cleanly but is penalised. Nesta and Milan benefit.
- 81'
Camara falls over when he had a chance to make a run. He's looked out of his depth tonight.
- 80'
Kaka and Cafu link up. Milan pouring forward. But Celtic pouring back. Marshall gets up to catch a high ball.
- 79'
Nice move from Celtic. Nice ball from Petrov to Agathe but Dida makes a decent claim for the ball.
- 78'
Inzaghi at it instantly under a tackle from Balde. Kaka tries a speculative one but Inzaghi is nowhere near it as it drifts behind.
- 76'
Cafu offside round the back. Celtic have the diver supreme in Inzaghi to deal with here. Watch out Bobo and Stan!
- 75'
Seedorf goes off for Ambrosini. It's a loud old atmosphere now. Inzaghi on for Tomasson.
- 74'
Celtic defending deep now. They should try and keep the pressure up. Learn from the Milan mistake.
- 74'
Now Milan wake up. They were too happy to sit back on a 1-0 lead. The national disease.
- 73'
Corner comes in and Varga is there to nod home. Shevchenko hustled out and Celtic, deservedly on their second half display, are level. 1-1!
- 71'
Free-kick drifted in. Varga under the ball but Shevchenko heads behind.
- 71'
Corner causes a series of ricochets in the Milan box. Both Sutton and Hartson have shots blocked. It's Celtic with the impetus here.
- 70'
Hartson again makes possession for Camara. The shot is poor again. He had a clear sight of goal but just dribbles to Dida.
- 69'
Agathe's cross deflected to Dida. Kaka down after a tackle by Sutton. The Englishman seems to be putting himself about.
- 67'
Milan have been thwarted by Celtic's hard work. But the Bhoys still need that goal.
- 66'
Long ball and Camara had a chance to threaten but hesitated. Dida could only parry.
