  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Celtic
    • Rapid Wien
    • 92' FULL TIME. 1-1. Gary Caldwell had a late chance to win it from a corner but Celtic are denied.
    • 91' Into injury time we go and a winner just does not look like coming...
    • 86' Fox returns but he is not moving freely...
    • 84' Fox is down injured and Celtic may well have to play this one out with 10 men...
    • 81' TRIPLE SUBSTITUTION: N'Guemo off for Robson, Maloney off for Killen, McGeady for McGinn...
    • 80' Kavlak booked for a shocker of a challenge on N'Guemo...
    • 79' Chris Killen is readying himself...
    • 75' Maloney is the key to this lock. This time the flag goes up wrongly as N'Guemo releases the winger, who hits the post (not that it mattered)...
    • 74' Mowbray is showing little concern for the derby as McGeady so nearly releases the offside Maloney...
    • 70' Vienna getting some decent crosses in right now...
    • 66' This is a great second half, Maloney is having an exceptional game...
    • 64' Boskovic departs for Drazan after that woeful volley...
    • 61' DANGER! Worrying moments for Celtic as Boskovic makes a mess of things when clean through, and then Caldwell makes what could have been deemed a clumsy foul inside the area...
    • 57' GARY CALDWELL! What a miss! Maloney drills goalwards, Caldwell only has to divert it on target from five yards but the big lad sends it wide. Shocking...
    • 56' GREAT STUFF! Fox fakes to shoot on the right corner of the area, cuts inside the blocker and then bends a 25-yarder that the keeper has to turn around the post...
    • 54' Yelavic remains a big danger to Celtic, you just fancy that the home side may go flat if Vienna were to grab the next goal...
    • 51' GOOD HANDS! Dober fires in a 30-yard rocket that Boruc does really well to clutch at first attempt...
    • 48' MASSIVE CHANCE! Samaras' dummy sends Maloney clear on goal, the keeper makes a point-blank save and then McDonald's goalbound shot is cleared off the line! Huge moment!
    • 47' I have to be honest, McGeady has been poor so far...
    • 46' How much will Mowbray go for it ahead of an Old Firm derby? We're about to find out as McDonald and Samaras get us back underway...
    • - The teams are back out on the pitch...big 45 minutes ahead...
    • 45' HALF TIME. 1-1. Fair play to Celtic, they have roared back and deserve to be leading at the break...
    • 43' BIG CHANCE! McDonald wins a corner by kicking the ball with his right boot onto his left - fooling the ref in the process, and from the resulting set play McManus really has to hit the target with a free header...
    • 41' GOOD SAVE! Hoffman sends in a curling free kick that Boruc has to tip over...
    • 39' Yellow card for Pehlivan after a savage challenge on McGeady. The ref has encouraged such a tackle with some rather lenient decisions so far...
    • 36' BIG CHANCE! N'Guemo's persistance opens a shooting chance for McGeady 20 yards out but a super block denies Celtic the lead...
    • 33' Big Scott Brown is crunching into the visitors...
    • 30' This is looking far better for Celtic, Vienna have completely lost their early calm and it's all green and white right now - although Samaras continues to prove himself worse than useless...
    • 27' Why let Dan Fox take it? Maloney usually takes a superb free kick but Fox just finds the wall...
    • 26' Big free kick, 20 yards out, dead central for McGeady or Maloney...
    • 24' The game needed that goal, Vienna looked far too happy to sit back and invite pressure - now they'll have to come out and play again...
    • 21' GOAL CELTIC! 1-1! Awful awful pass by Andreas Dober allows McDonald to skip in behind the Vienna defence, and he arrows a superb shot into the far corner although question marks have to be raised over the age and agility of the Vienna keeper...
    • 17' Yelavic is causing Celtic's defenders all sorts of problems. And we all know that's not an easy thing to do to Gary Caldwell...
    • 14' We've just had an example of Celtic's major threat as Samaras rises high above his marker to nearly flick the ball into McDonald's path...
    • 12' Huge challenge by McManus stops Yelavic having a clear run on goal...
    • 9' Samaras fires in Celtic's first shot at goal from just outside the box. I say 'fires', imagine Yossi Benayoun striking from distance and you'll get an accurate impression of how much Samaras troubled the keeper...
    • 6' Decent response by Celtic as Maloney fizzes in a lovely cross, but you have to say Vienna's passing carries a worrying technical accuracy from Tony Mowbray's point of view...
    • 3' GOAL VIENNA! 1-0! I was just about to say I fear for Celtic, the Vienna side looks technically gifted, and BANG we have a goal. Caldwell's awful distribution, Yelavic's clinical strike across Boruc for 1-0!
    • 1' We are underway at Celtic Park, Celtic kicking from left to right depending on what side of the ground you sit...
    • - The teams have emerged from the tunnel and now we're being treated to the shocking new Uefa anthem for this competition...
    • - Celtic fans have unveiled a banner that labels Rapid Vienna "liars and conmen". Apparently the banner was originally made for Eduardo...
    • - As a neutral, I have to say I'm always fearful when Gary Caldwell steps onto a rectangular surface that has grass on it...
    • - No Hinkel or McCourt for Celtic... does Mr Mowbray have Rangers on his mind?...
    • - Full line-ups:
    • - Celtic XI: Boruc, Wilson, Caldwell, McManus, Daniel Fox, McGeady, Brown, N'Guemo, Maloney, McDonald, Samaras. SUBS: Zaluska, McGinn, Crosas, Robson, Loovens, Killen, Caddis
    • - Rapid Vienna XI: Payer, Dober, Patocka, Soma, Katzer, Heikkinen, Pehlivan, Kavlak, Hoffmann, Boskovic, Jelavic. SUBS: Hedl, Thonhofer, Kulovits, Salihi, Eder, Drazan, Konrad
    • - I'm intrigued to know from Celtic fans... would you rather win the Europa League or the SPL this season?
    • - The teams are in and the big news is: McGeady starts...
    • - CELTIC TEAM: Boruc, Wilson, McManus, Caldwell, Fox, McGeady, N'Guemo, Brown, Maloney, McDonald, Samaras
    • - Celtic can expect no easy ride tonight either (can you ever when Georgios Samaras is in your starting XI?), Vienna have already dumped out Aston Villa and they stuffed Hamburg 3-0 in their opening group game...
    • - For those who need a brush-up on their history, Vienna were 3-0 down and heading out of the Cup Winners Cup to Celtic back in 1985, until Rudi Weinhofer claimed he had been hit by a missile - resulting in a third (and deciding) game to be played - with Vienna winning 1-0...
    • - Good evening and welcome to "Rivalries Re-ignited" night at Celtic Park, as Celtic welcome back Rapid Vienna some 25 years after their last controversial meeting...

  • Summary

    • 61' DANGER! Worrying moments for Celtic as Boskovic makes a mess of things when clean through, and then Caldwell makes what could have been deemed a clumsy foul inside the area...
    • 57' GARY CALDWELL! What a miss! Maloney drills goalwards, Caldwell only has to divert it on target from five yards but the big lad sends it wide. Shocking...
    • 56' GREAT STUFF! Fox fakes to shoot on the right corner of the area, cuts inside the blocker and then bends a 25-yarder that the keeper has to turn around the post...

  1. Be nice to see Celtic score first in a game like this­ but a draw while not ideal is better than losing

    From rblackhurst2004, on Sat 3 Oct 8:00AM

  2. #169 Who's the diddy that checked it out then? I­ could have written prooove, it would have meant exactly­ the same thing! Try googling it!

    From lysdexic, on Fri 2 Oct 6:32PM

  3. PT168 There is no such word in the Dictionary,you are­ talking nonsense

    From Duncan, on Fri 2 Oct 6:14PM

  4. #167 Imperative 'proove!'. Second person­ singular, present indicative; you (implied)­ 'proove'.
    Sorry Duncan, you are just not that­ bright... foot in mouth again eh?

    From lysdexic, on Fri 2 Oct 4:08PM

  5. Pat asks Mick, "Is there a b and q in Dublin­ Mick?". Mick thinks hard for a minute and replies,­ "I think there`s a b Pat,though i`m not sure if­ there`s a q"

    PS.Lysdexic there`s only one­ "o" in the word "prove"

    From Duncan, on Fri 2 Oct 1:41PM

  6. boring 1-1 - hate simple draws.

  8. #167 Don't make any bones about it sunshine, if you­ start to spout bile, I'll report you too...­ 'seemples'!! However, if you're up for a­ wee pelters session without resorting to your inbred,­ hate filled pash, then I’m your man. The only thing is­ though, you’ll have to use joined-up words, and from­ reading the few previous posts of yours that I can­ stomach, I believe it unlikely that you are capable of­ offering any kind of cogent or constructive argument.­ Proove me wrong why don't you?
