Anyone watching on the BBC?
Hart starts in goal for Celtic while Edouard is benched. A first start for the attacker Furihashi.
31 year old Martin Dolezal starts up front for Jablonec, 13 goals in 32 league appearances last season.
Jablonec 14/5
Celtic 10/11
Draw 13/5

We're off and running. Celtic takes the knee, Jablonec doesn't. And the home side kicks off.

It’s live on Freeview up here, BBC Scotland. Luckily I stumbled upon it as I was flicking through the channels a few minutes ago. Didn’t even know we were playing. Stream here: www.bbc.co.uk/tv/bbcscotland |

Ralston runs through on the FKJ area and feeds Turnbull on the 6 yard line. He ignores the gaping goal and instead scrapes out a direct grasscutter to keeper Hanus. A glorious waste on '06.

Or should that be inglorious?
Never mind, Celtic has started fairly well here, with two thirds possession s=and lots of neat passing. FKJ are happy to allow -
Not any more they're not!
GOAL
It's cut inside the area on '11 where it finds Abada in the same place where Turnbull messed up minutes ago. Abada fires, it rebounds off a defender, he fires again, he scores, no mistake.

GOAL
Furihasi collects the threaded ball from Bitton, he's in the area, the keeper rushes him, he chips it deftly over him and it rolls into the net. Very well taken indeed on '16. Two-nothing Celtic.

GOAL
Moments later, it's FKJ's turn. The long ball is looped over the Celtic defence to find Pilar in the Celtic area. He takes a single touch and outwits Hart to put Jablonec right back in it.

Halil Umut Meler from Turkey has blown up.
Celtic go in at half time leading by the odd goal of three and fans everywhere will be waiting for the dreaded - no, don't say it.

Furihashi won't want to see the highlights of that one again, as the ball drops to him in the 6 yard box. The boy blasts it way over the bar from three yards out, although there was a cluster of three defenders between him and the goal. You'd think he might have at least kept it down, perhaps getting a second chance off a rebound from one of the bodies in his way. Still 2-1 to Celtic going into the 52nd minute here.

FKJ are pushing. They are pushing in the final 30 minutes.
GOAL
But it's Celtic that's potted! Just as it looked like the steam was beginning to run out Abada finds himself on the edge of the area and fires a left-footer which is parried by keeper Hanus only to fall to Forrest who fires home on '64.
Celtic promptly make a triple subbo including Eduard coming on.

That can't be right, surely. The commentator says James Forrest has reached 93 assists in his Celtic career.
* A simple wiki-quickie reveals it's Forrest' 93rd club goal. Silly man.

Charlie Melgrew, the co-commentator, is about as laid-back as they come. A refreshing alternative to some of the others, you have to say.

Charlie Melgrew, the co-commentator, is about as laid-back as they come. A refreshing alternative to some of the others, you have to say. I’m not enjoying him very much. He keeps jinxing us .. and he’s too common e.g. saying “fi” instead of “from”. I actually thought it was Charlie McAdam but you’re right. Joe Hart looked shit there.

GOAL
Oh, Malinsky bursts forth towards the area, a free man. Hart is off his line, way off it, eight yards out. Malinsky sees the opportunity and loops it over the stranded Hart with 5 minutes to go.
FKJ 2 Celtic 3.

Liverpool beats Bologna and gets a clean sheet. They beat them twice, 2-0 and then 1-0! Two sixty minute long matches. Game’s gone!

It's all over. Celtic take a 4-2 lead back to Scotland.
And that should be enough for Celtic to go on and face AZ in the play-offs, you would think.
