- 55' Iago has an effort from some way out but it goes well wide.

- 5' Joaquin with a decent cross into the box but beyond Portillo. Malaga's first real attack of note.
- 3' Good start for Celta, who are keeping possession well in the early stages of this match.
1' The first half is underway.- 17:55 Malaga, meanwhile, are in all kinds of bother since their oil-rich owner Sheikh Al Thani lost interest this summer. Very odd given the outlay last season, and the success in qualifying for the Champions League play-off. Anyway, they have lost Santi Cazorla and Salomon Rondon and Joris Mathijsen so let's see how they fare.
- 17:50 Promoted Celta no longer boast the names of old, with a mostly-Spanish squad these days. A few familiar names as Javi Varas - Sevilla's capable back-up keeper - makes his debut on loan, while you may have seen Gustavo Cabral play centre-half for Levante last season. Also in action is career Celta midfielder Borja Oubina, who had a short ill-fated spell on loan at Birmingham, and Quique de Lucas, towards the end of his career but a fine player for Chelsea and Alaves in his day.
- 17:45 Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the start of the Liga season, with promoted Celta Vigo hosting crisis-club Malaga.
