End of match

End of match

  • 95'
    FT: Lazio 1-2 Celtic!!! It's all over in Rome and when it looked like it was going to end in a draw, Ntcham punished an error by Berisha to give Celtic a last minute victory and book their place in the last 32 of the Europa League. Lazio are in serious trouble in Group E and look likely to fail to qualify. That's all from us, thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
  • 95'
    It's cruel on Lazio, but they rightly threw everyone forward looking for a late winner and conceded.

  • 93'
    Celtic just keeping the ball in Lazio's half. The hosts are getting frustrated.

    Immobile is screaming for a penalty for a handball! It hits Jullien on the left arm and even though his arm is out, he can't put it anywhere else. That's a fair call for me.
  • 64'
    Edouard miscontrols inside the Lazio area and Felipe clears. I feel this will end in a draw.
  • 62'
    Caicedo goes down wanting a penalty, but nothing is given! Lulic's cross in is headed by a Lazio man to Caicedo on the edge of the six yard box who goes down. There is contact with Jullien. Not a pen for me though.

  • PRVW
    The players are out on the pitch!
  • PRVW
    It's 15 degrees in Rome tonight and most importantly, it's dry. There was crowd trouble at the previous meeting and there are lots of Celtic fans in the stadium tonight.
  • PRVW
    One other thing. Cataldi of Lazio is suspended for tonight's game after picking up a yellow card despite only coming on in the 85th minute at Celtic Park.
  • PRVW
    Lazio won 1-2 at AC Milan in their last match while Celtic defeated Hibs 5-2 in the Scottish League Cup semi-final at Hampden.
  • PRVW
    Lazio are 4th in Serie A, eight points behind leaders Juventus while Celtic are top of the SPL, level on points with Rangers, but the Hoops are ahead by one goal on goal difference. It couldn't be much tighter!
  • PRVW
    Celtic make just the one switch from the last meeting: Jonny Hayes comes in for Bolingoli-Mbombo.
  • PRVW
    Compared to the teams two weeks back: Luiz Felipe replaces Bastos in defence while Immobile replaces Joaquin Correa.
  • PRVW
    The two teams met just two weeks ago in Glasgow and the Scottish side came from behind to win 2-1.
  • PRVW
    Celtic will qualify with a win if Rennes do not beat Cluj in Romania while Lazio ideally want to get three points as well.
  • PRVW
