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 vs RB Leipzig

The teams make their way out onto the pitch at Celtic Park. The Scottish side need to win tonight to keep their hopes of reaching the last 16 alive.

They should prove to be a more difficult prospect to beat tonight in front of their home fans but RB Leipzig have their own eyes on a place in the knockouts.

This is a big game with plenty of rewards for the winner. Kick off comes next...

Celtic vs RB Leipzig

Celtic have lost two of their three European matches against RB Leipzig, but both defeats came away from home, with the Glasgow side winning 2-1 in the other game in November 2018 in the Europa League.

This will be RB Leipzig’s sixth European match against a Scottish opponent - they’ve won their three home games but lost both of their games in Scotland, 2-1 to Celtic in 2018 and 3-1 to Rangers in the Europa League semi-final last season.

Full-time: Copenhagen 0-0 Man City

90+3 mins: There goes the final whistle. Manchester City are held to a point after going down to 10-men in the first half. They were never really in danger of conceding but couldn’t create enough clear chances to get themselves ahead.

City stay top of Group G and remain unbeaten in the Champions League this season. They’re up to 10 points and a draw between Dortmund and Sevilla will send them through to the round of 16.

Copenhagen 0-0 Man City

90 mins: There’s going to be three minutes of added time to play. Ilkay Gundogan takes a shot from outside the box and sends it straight down the throat of Kamil Grabara.

[11 October 2022 19:38 · Michael Jones]

Copenhagen 0-0 Man City

87 mins: Aymeric Laporte is taken off with Nathan Ake coming on for the final three minutes of the 90. City look like they’re going to take a point out of this game.

That may be enough to secure qualification to the knockouts depending on the result of Borussia Dortmund’s match against Sevilla later on.

[11 October 2022 19:33 · Michael Jones]

Copenhagen 0-0 Man City

84 mins: Save! Joao Cancelo brings the ball inside from the left wing before blasting an effort at goal that Kamil Grabara turns wide of the right-hand post!
