Hapoel Tel-Aviv against Celtic

GOAL! HAPOEL 2-1 CELTIC

Decent chance there for Yeboah, fed the ball in the inside right channel by Kende, but he lashed it high and wide of the near post.

Looks like there's only one team likely to pinch a winner here.

Penalty appeal from after Mare is pulled down, but Zehavi should have scored when the ball broke to him 8 yards out.

Boruc makes another save low down to his right to stop Zehavi's shot.

Good effort from, I think, Lala, shooting from 30 yards, but Boruc has plenty of time to see it and gets down to smother it well.

Free kick to Celtic on the left, to be swung in. It's headed away for a throw.

Mare replaces Vucicevic.

Ben Dayan cuts out McGeady's pass and Hapoel break, but Celtic do enough and win a goal kick.

Free kick to Celtic, taken short to McGgeady, who runs at the Hapoel defence. Forced wider, he shoots just over.

Lala's wild shot screws wide, and his shin guard spins out closer to where he wanted the ball to go.

Vucicevic has another shot, but it's blocked. If Celtic don't wake up, they could lose this.

Yeboah got free down the right, his cross was cleared by Boruc with his feet, but unconvingly, and with all the defeders drawn towards the ball, Vucicevic was unmarked, able to compose himself before blasting the ball into the roof of the net.

GOAL! HAPOEL 1-1 CELTIC

Best chance for Hapoel, Yeboah heading over the top, but he too was offside.

Maloney is put through and called offside, but he wasn't, although he did miss anyway. He'll be relieved to see that flag.

Vucicevic brought down 40 yards from goal.

Samaras replaced by Killen.

Yet another overhit cross from Hapoel. Perhaps it's time to try something else.

Natcho replaced by Zehavi.

Throw to Hapoel level with the edge of the Celtic area, on the right.

Fulham have equalised in Sofia.

N'Guemo is replaced by 22 year old Niall McGinn.

And Samaras is back with us.

Da Silva wins a free kick in centrefield.

Acicevic does well on the right, but after creating the space, his touch is too strong.

Samaras clatters into the dugout and is off the pitch.

Another cross is cleared. If Hapoel want to put the ball in the box, they need to get more men in there to win it.

But that could have been one. Lala miskicked in the area when he had a good chance to get in a shot.

Hapoel have been easily the better team this half, without creating any clear-cut chances.

CSKA Sofia are one up at home to Fulham.

Hapoel restart the game before Celtic are ready - not against the rules - but the referee pulls them back anyway.

Yeboah gets clear for a moment, but Fox robs him and he collides with McManus. Ouch.

Clever play from Ben Dayan, turning this way and that to shake off McGeady.

Ben Dayan picks out Yeboah with his cross, and he heads the ball down, but Vucicevic is too far away to profit.

Yeboah claims a free kick, but the referee motions him to get up.

Natcho tries to switch the play to the right, looking for Ben Dayan, but his pass is overhit.

Caldwell ticked off for a foul.

Menteshashvili is replaced by the Lala, hoping he can call the tune. Apparently he has brothers called Po and Tinky Winky.

Vucicevic hits another long, aimless cross, and it's easy for Boruc.

Natcho dribbles round three men but the ball runs away from him and he dives ridiculously, for which he is booked.

Much better from Hapoel. Vermouth strides through, and his shot is well struck but straight at Boruc.

Yeboah does well on the right, beating his man, but is crowded out.

Vermouth sends it right to Ben Dayan, and hie crosses, aiming for Yeboah, but it's cleared.

Vicicevic comes in off the left, but his low shot is wide. Wouldn't have troubled Boruc anyway.

Ben Dayan crosses from the right, and Yeboah goes for it, but Caldwell cuts it out. He diverts the ball onto his arm and there are shrieks for a penalty, but it wasn't close.

Nice arms of tattoos Fox has, I must say. Very smart indeed.

Celtic kick off.

Celtic have been marginally better, but the game has been fairly tight. Excellent finish for the goal, but after a promising start the game has been scrappy without much quality.

HALF TIME: HAPOEL 0-1 CELTIC

1 minute of added time...

Celtic break and Yadin hacks down McGeady. McGeady has a tantrum and puts his forehead against Yadin's (I wonder if he'd do that if there weren't a referee to protect him) and both are booked.

Bit better from Hapoel. The ball was cut back to Menteshashvili 30 yards out, and he hits well but Boruc is able to punch it behind fairly comfortably.

Another lofted pass from Menteshashvili drifts out of play.

Menteshashvili tries to find Yeboah with a lofted pass, but there was no real chance of success. Hapoel need to move the ball quicker and send more men forward.

Vucicevic looks for Yeboah on the right, but the pass is cut out.

Hapoel could really do with the guile of retired schemer and ex-assistant manager Shalom Tikva.

Vucicevic bundles his way through a couple of tackles, but tries to pass when his best option was a shot from the edge of the area, and Hapoel lose possession.

Ben Dayan finds Natcho on the left but it comes to nothing.

Ball lifted over the top for Yeboah, but he's nowhere near being able to reach it.

Good ball in from Fox wide on the left, between keeper and defenders, but Brown can't reach it.

Samaras gets on the ball in a similar position to the one in which he scored, and he tried to fade a curler low into the corner, but his shot is blocked.

Celtic haven't shown very much quality so far, save for Samaras's finish.

Hapoel are doing ok - the game was fairly even before the goal, and they haven't panicked.

Samaras pulls wide left and tries to cross, but it's deflected and collected by Enyeama.

Of course if they get hammered, then they could be called the hapless Hapwell, which would make the mispronunciation of their name very tempting.

The game has been fairly even until now, how will Hapwell respond to going behind?

Samaras peeled away to the left, and he was superbly found with a lofted, diagonal ball from Caldwell as the defenders moved up, finshing calmly across Enyeama and into the bottom right corner.

GOAL! HAPOEL 0-1 CELTIC

Vucicevic loses the stumbling McManus, but his cut back is very poor.

Kende works himself a crossing opportunity, by when it reaches Yeboah, his chest control is too heavy.

Fox plays the ball round the corner, aiming for Maloney, but it's a hopeful effort and easily cut out.

Caldwell feeds McGeady in the inside right position, he comes infield and shoots at the near post, but it's easy for the keeper.

Da Silva concedes a throw by the byline, but Celtic are forced back.

Great backheel from Natcho to set Menteshashvili free, but his cross is poor.

McGeady has a dig from 25 yards, but drags it wide.

Caldwell tries a little dinked pass wioth the outside of his right foot. There's a reason you're a centre back, son.

Yeboah wins a free kick wide on the right and about 25 yards from goal. Boruc claims the cross easily.

McGeady skips infield, but Vucicevic sees him and cuts him off.

Not a bad game so far, both teams looking to attack.

Vucicevic is sent away on the right, steps inside Fox and Boruc saves low to his right.

McGeady is upeneded in centrefield but Kende.

Good corner from Maloney, swinging in and picking out Samaras, but his firm header is tipped onto the bar.Excellent save.

Kende concedes a corner on the left hand side.

Celtic's fluorescent yellow and black hooped kit makes the picture look blurry.

Nice idea from Natcho, lifting the ball over the Celtic back four for Yeboah, but he'd strayed offside.

Fox slings it over towards Caldwell on the far post, but it's overhit and not flat enough, and the ball is headed wide.

Free kick to Celtic on the right in a dangerous position.

Great play from Menteshashvili, launching himself into three consecutive tackles in centrefield, but Vuciecevic wastes possession when the ball reaches him.

Hapoel win a throw on the right and Natcho plays the ball into a dangerous area from the right, but there's no one in the box.

Incidentally, Hapoel is pronounced Huh-Po-El, rather than the commonly used "Hapwell".

Good tackle from Badir on Samaras. Goal kick.

First half chance of the game, Natcho heading Ben Dayan's cross over the top.

Yeboah looks like Bubbles from The Wire.

Hapoel kick off.

Anyway, Celtic manager Tony Mowbray - or Terknee Merrbrey as he would say - prefers Samaras to McDonald. McManus is fit and takes his place in the side, and McGeady is back from suspension.

It appears there is now a Europa League anthem. Wow! I am so moved! Power to UEFA's brand consultants, that is really very stirring. No it isn't.

Hapoel's subs are Abarbanel, Mare, Zehavi, Lala, Gordana, Huta, Duani. And for Celtic it's Zaluska, Naylor, McDonald, McGinn, Crosas, McCourt, Killen.

Celtic: Boruc, Hinkel, McManus, Caldwell, N'Guemo, Brown, Samaras, Fox, Maloney, Loovens, McGeady.

Hapoel: Enyeama, Da Silva, Natcho, Vucicevic, Badir, Yeboah, Vermouth, Menteshashvili, Ben Dayan, Kende, Yadin.
