FULL TIME

Celtic will face AEK Athens in the third qualifying round, having held Rosenborg to a goalless draw here in Norway.

They weren't at their best tonight but Brendan Rodgers' side were still pretty comfortable as they held on to their two-goal lead.

90'+2

ROSENBORG SUB: A final throw of the dice from the hosts - Botheim comes on for Lundemo.

90'

FOUR minutes to be added - and yet Rosenborg still need two goals. It's not going to happen, is it?

88'

Ajer picked up a booking in the aftermath of the disallowed goal - and I have no idea why.

87'

GOAL DISALLOWED!

Rosenborg have it in the back of the net, but it won't count! Bendtner pushed Gordon to beat the Celtic goalkeeper to the ball.

85'

CELTIC SUB: Tierney has been struggling for a moment and is replaced by Lustig for the final five minutes.

83'

Bendtner drifts wide to deliver a devilish cross but Soderlund is unable to direct his glancing header on target. It hasn't been Rosenborg's night.

79'

Celtic edge ever closer to that third round qualifying tie with AEK Athens, but it could have been a much more nervy finale had Rosenborg put away one of those chances in the first-half. The hosts have played some good football this evening but lacked that final bit of quality in the final-third.

78'

Ntcham steps up to take the free-kick... but gets it all wrong as he curls it high into the stands.

77'

And now Celtic have an opportunity to put this game to bed, as Rogic wins a free-kick which is around 25 yards out. Shooting territory, certainly.

75'

ROSENBORG SUB: Another attacking switch - Vilhjalmsson comes on for Trondsen.

74'

Levi goes into the book for a late challenge on Tierney. Some frustration creeping into Rosenborg's game as the tie slips away from them.

72'

CELTIC SUB: Their second change of the night sees Christie replace Edouard.

70'

Into the final 20 minutes of the contest and still Rosenborg require two goals without reply. There has been a change in formation from the hosts and expect them to throw the kitchen sink at Celtic for the remainder.

68'

What an open, thrilling and thoroughly entertaining contest we have on our hands now. Celtic fail to clear their lines properly from a corner and Jensen almost capitalises but curls a hopeful shot wide of the target.

66'

CHANCE!

Celtic almost take advantage of the home side's risk-taking strategy! They launch a rapid counter-attack and the ball is crossed into the path of Sinclair at the back post. The winger, however, tries a first-time effort and can't direct his volley on target.

65'

SAVE!

Rosenborg work the ball to the right side where the substitute Levi takes control. He beats Tierney for pace, cuts back onto his stronger foot and launches a venomous shot from an acute angle, forcing Gordon into a reaction save.

63'

As the clock ticks on it becomes increasingly difficult to imagine Celtic throwing their two-goal lead away.

62'

CELTIC SUB: Just as he was growing into the contest, Forrest is taken off. He is replaced by Rogic.

60'

After a dismal showing in the first-period when they were under the cosh for large parts, Celtic have finally taken control of the match. They are playing 10-15 yards further up the pitch than they were and asking questions of the Rosenborg defence.
