Celtic vs RB Leipzig LIVE: Champions League result, final score and reaction tonight

Celtic welcome RB Leipzig as they desperately search for their first Champions League win of the season

Celtic prepare to face RB Leipzig in Group F of Champions League

Celtic have entered the last chance saloon of the Champions League group stages and need to pick up three points tonight if they are to have any hopes of reaching the knockout stages of the competition. The Hoops have only collected one point from their first three matches following a draw with Shakhtar Donetsk and defeats to Real Madrid and RB Leipzig.

Ange Postecoglou’s side were humbled 3-1 in Germany last Wednesday after running out of steam in the second half against RB Leipzig despite an encouraging first 45 minutes. That display encapsulated the story of their Champions League campaign so far where they’ve competed with teams for almost an hour before letting the standards drop towards the end of the game.

The Scottish side will be given a boost by playing at home this evening and come into the match on the back of an injury time winner over St. Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership. Giorgos Giakoumakis scored in the 95th minute to give Celtic a 2-1 win and could be in line to start tonight after Jota was taken off the pitch at half-time on Saturday.

Follow all the action from Celtic Park after the conclusion of FC Copenhagen vs Manchester City:

Celtic 0-0 RB Leipzig

30 mins: This is impressive stuff from Celtic who attack down the right side before sending it inside to Haksabanovic who curls a cross into the box and expertly picks out Kyogo Furuhashi who turns his header over the crossbar!

He has to hit the target there at the very least. Will Celtic start to rue these missed chances?

Celtic 0-0 RB Leipzig

27 mins: OFF THE WOODWORK!

Celtic are denied as Matt O’Riley strikes one from outside the box and rattles the right-hand post. The ball bounces back out to the home side who flick it over to the opposite side of the box where Greg Taylor nods his own effort onto the top of the crossbar!

Celtic cannot get any closer than that!

Celtic 0-0 RB Leipzig

24 mins: Saed Haksabanovic drills a low corner into the near post where Greg Taylor flicks it into the middle of the area. There’s a bit of a scramble but Josko Gvardiol hooks the ball away for the German side.

This is good from Celtic. They’re causing Leipzig some trouble.

Celtic 0-0 RB Leipzig

21 mins: Reo Hatate has his pocket picked in the middle of the pitch by Haidara who looks to play in Nkunku only for O’Riley to dive across the path of the ball to complete the interception.

Celtic break but can’t create a chance to shoot before they lose possession and allow Leipzig to bomb back at them. Timo Werner is given the ball on the left side and he darts into the penalty area and shoots but Mortiz Jenz puts in a much-needed block for Celtic.

Celtic 0-0 RB Leipzig

18 mins: Celtic are really trying to pass the ball quickly. Taylor feeds one through midfield to Kyogo Furuhashi who turns towards goal as overhits a through ball into the box as Daizen Maeda makes a run from the left wing.

He can’t catch up to the ball before it runs out of play.

Celtic 0-0 RB Leipzig

15 mins: Haidara threads the ball into the box to Andre Silva who lays it off to Timo Werner. He tries to sneak in behind but gets hounded and has to release the ball.

Cameron Carter-Vickers attempts to clear the danger but Dominik Szoboszlai piles the pressure on with the defender managing to eventually hoof one up the pitch.

Celtic 0-0 RB Leipzig

12 mins: As happened in Germany last week this match is swinging from end to end. Celtic throw men into the box back quite open up the right angle to get a shot away.

O’Riley then loses possession and RB Leipzig sweep forward on the counter-attack before an effort from Amadou Haidara is blocked inside the penalty area.

Celtic 0-0 RB Leipzig

9 mins: The ball gets fizzed across Celtic’s penalty area and looks to be heading for Dominik Szoboszlai at the back post but Greg Taylor manages to get back and block off the forward before the ball reaches him.

Solid defending.
