Time:90'
- Dinamo Moskva
- Celtic
- 97' It's all over and Celtic's Champions League dream is still alive as they progress to the final qualifying round.
- 96' Dinamo throw on Ropotan for Fernandez but it will matter little.
- 95' Boruc makes sure he will go home with a clean sheet as he makes a good low save from Kombarov.
- 90' GOAL! Celtic are in dreamland, Samaras takes the ball down, burrows across the area and sends a low shot into the bottom corner. Surely they are throuh now!
- 90' What a chance! Brown shows great strength, he plays the ball into the path of Maloney who burrows in on goal but shoots weakly at the keeper with the goal gaping.
- 88' Brown shows great strength to win a corner, Maloney delivers into a dangerous area but the keeper does well to punch clear.
- 87' Celtic are finishing well and McGeady sees a shot charged down after Donati and Samaras had combined well.
- 85' Brown rides two tackles and flicks the ball into the path of Samaras but he is fractionally offside and Dinamo survive.
- 84' Dinamo throw Korkorin into the fray. Can he make a difference?
- 84' Frustration for Celtic as an angled ball releases Maloney but his ball in from the left is poor.
- 81' Fox gets to the byline and stands the ball up, Loovens rises to make the header but is taken out of the action and goes down in a heap clutching his knee. He gets up a little feelingly.
- 79' Celtic make a like-for-like change as goalscorer McDonald is replaced with Samaras.
- 78' The caution count is evened up as N'Guemo brings down Svezhov.
- 77' Maloney delivers a lovely ball into the box and Kolodin is forced to head over his own bar. From the corner, the keeper punches the ball straight at his own player and Dinamo are lucky to clear the ball.
- 75' Caldwell gives the ball away in a dangerous area but atones by chasing back and taking the ball off Kerzhakov.
- 72' There were doubts about Brown's fitness before the game. Well he's been everywhere so far as he snuffs out a threat from Svezhov and then springs forward. Celtic fashion a couple of half chances for Maloney and Hinkel but Dinamo survive.
- 70' Svezhov is cautioned for coming through the back of N'Guemo.
- 70' Brown has certainly added a physical presence and he plays the ball into the path of Maloney but his shot is high and wide.
- 69' Scott Brown is introduced for Fortune and he will play alongside McDonald.
- 67' Kerzhakov finds space on the edge of the box and fires on target, but Boruc is the equal of the strike.
- 65' A good cross into the box from Kombarov but Boruc takes charge as he comes off his line to gather. That's what defenders want from their keeper.
- 62' Celtic break forward, McDonald picks up the ball 30 yards from goal and fizzes a low shot a yard wide of goal. Better from Celtic.
- 62' Super defending from Loovens who rises high to head clear under real pressure.
- 61' Dinamo suddenly look threatening. Dmitri Kombarov whips in a cross from the left that Fox turns behind for a corner.
- 56' Real pressure from Dinamo. A corner from Dmitri Kombarov is headed goalwards by Kiril Kombarov, it beats Boruc but Hinkel is again alert and hacks the ball off the line.
- 53' CHANCE! Sloppy play from Hinkel as he allows the ball to slip under his foot. Kombarov needs no second invitation and fires in a shot that beats Boruc and thankfully for Celtic, the far post. Maybe that will rouse the Russians from their slumber.
- 52' Finally a signal of intent from Kolodin who drives through the middle but Celtic crowd him out.
- 51' Still no urgency from Dinamo as they continue to roll the ball around at the back. Surely they have to step up the tempo.
- 48' The Russian crowd are getting extremely frustrated and it's understandable as Svezhov gives the ball away sloppily.
- 46' We're back underway and surely Dinamo will show a little more in this half.
- 45' Half time in Moscow and Celtic have their noses in front. We'll have the second half in 15 minutes.
- 45' Chance! A corner from Dinamo causes panic in the box, it falls to Khokhlov at the far post but Hinkel hacks his shot off the line.
- 45' Dinamo attempt to strike back immediately but Loovens rises to head the ball behind.
- 44' GOAL! Finally an end product from Celtic. Hinkel delivers a glorious cross to the back post for McDonald and the Aussie makes no mistake from seven yards. What a time to score!
- 42' N'Guemo lets fly with a strike from 25 yards but he fails to make true connection and Gabulov gathers with ease.
- 41' Almost a chance for Celtic. Fox whips in a decent cross from the left and Fortune glances the ball on but it falls just beyond McDonald.
- 39' Kerzhakov takes charge but he probably shouldn't have bothered as his weak effort goes straight into the wall.
- 38' Loovens is penalised for a foul on Kerzhakov and this is dangerous.
- 37' Celtic have got through the opening half an hour with little alarm, but they need to do more than just survive and Dinamo may counter if and when Celtic commit more men forward.
- 34' Loovens goes in strong on Svezhov who tumbles to the ground. Yet again the referee Jonas Eriksson waves play on. He certainly can't be accused of favouring the home side so far.
- 33' Strong forward play from Fortune, he wins another corner but was sadly lacking in support. Yet again the corner is poor, Maloney's delivery fails to beat the first man.
- 31' Celtic waste another corner as the ball does not beat the first man and the ball is cleared.
- 31' McGeady wins a corner with a super piece of skill that took him past his marker with ease.
- 26' Celtic spring forward, Maloney cuts inside two players and shoots straight at Gabulov. It wasn't the greatest strike but beating two players will boost his confidence.
- 26' Caldwell breathes a sigh of relief as Donati comes to his rescue after a sloppy piece of control almost allowed Khokhlov a sight of goal.
- 24' Boos ring out as Celtic control possession in the middle of the park.
- 23' Celtic's set piece is well worked, Fox goes long to Caldwell who nods back towards Loovens but the ball is cleared by Dinamo.
- 22' Fortune wins another corner for Celtic and this could be their best chance of making the breakthrough.
- 20' The free kick is in a dangerous area, but Wilkshire curls the ball straight at Boruc. A wasted chance.
- 19' Great forward play frmo Kerzhakov who drives forward and with absolutely no support, draws a foul from Caldwell.
- 17' Awful play from Donati on the left gifts possession to Dinamo but Svezhoz has no support and Celtic avert the threat.
- 15' Good approach play from Celtic and Fox wins a corner. Dinamo clear the danger but it's a positive sign for the Bhoys.
- 14' Fortune brings Granat down on the touchline with a lunging tackle and the Russian crowd make their feelings known about the challenge.
- 11' Wilkshire finds space down the right flank but Loovens comes across and shrugs him off the ball. Good defending from the big Dutchman.
- 9' Kerzhakov has made a bright start for Dinamo and he tricks his way into the box and attempts a curler, but it is easy for Boruc.
- 8' Celtic give the ball away sloppily in the Dinamo half and the Russians spring forward and win a free kick. The chance comes to nothing but it is a warning to Celtic.
- 5' The first strike on goal comes from Dinamo but it is no danger to Boruc as the effort from distance goes well over the bar. No alarms so far for Celtic.
- 3' Dinamo raid down the right but the cross into the box is cut out and Celtic clear the danger.
- 1' We are underway in Russia and Celtic are on the attack in the early stages. Good signs for the Bhoys.
- - Celtic: Boruc, Hinkel, Caldwell, Loovens, Daniel Fox, McGeady, Donati, N'Guemo, Maloney, McDonald, Fortune. Subs: Zaluska, Scott Brown, O'Dea, Caddis, Crosas, Killen, Samaras.
- - The teams are now in: Dinamo skipper Khokhlov is back in the fold after missing the first leg. Dinamo Moscow: Gabulov, Kowalcyzk, Fernandez, Kolodin, Granat, Kirill Kombarov, Khokhlov, Wilkshire, Svezhov, Dmitri Kombarov, Kerzhakov. Subs: Shunin, Smolov, Dimidko, Tanasijevic, Ropotan, Denisov, Kokorin.
- - Celtic make the trip to Moscow to face Russian powerhouses Dinamo and only a win will do for Tony Mowbray's men following the 1-0 defeat in the first leg.

To Burglars-Enemy, I think the reason that there was no one on her was that we a were watching celtic march on!
Good to see rangers fans on celtic forums giving us a good slagging. I suppose it gives them something to talk about when there is a fire-sale on in their own backyard and their players are all a bunch of wee spoilt brats!! sounds familiar actually....
