00:00Yeah thanks very much Emma, welcome back everybody. Indeed Martin O'Neill going to his bench at
00:06half-time and deploying his top scorer Benjamin Negrin and it is Sebastian Tunecti on the left
00:12side of that attacking three who has been sacrificed, the ten men of Celtic. How will that
00:19change the way they're set up to approach this crucial second 45, Joe? Yeah I think it'll be a
00:24very narrow sort of 4-4-1, guys are charging around up front but look they've got the two goals,
00:31done all the hard work if you like, can they battle, stick together, show spurts of quality
00:40ultimately to get a huge result on the road. For an opportunity they have given themselves
00:47those goals from Hatati and from Trusty, Duke ending a dogged first half performance.
00:52Again Bologna going down the left-hand side to Dominguez, who is busy in that first 45,
00:59Tierney equally so for Celtic. Yeah there's going to be a lot of that and I think Daz Ahmed has been
01:04given the message you do not need to chase everything, relax, sit in the shape and make
01:09it as difficult as you possibly can and ride the waves, hope for a corner or a set piece
01:14like they've got the second goal looking like a really narrow five actually Jamie
01:27here's Miranda, Dominguez,
01:41Bobega, Colby Donovan block and Engels heads away
01:46this is Heggam, 10 million pound signing from West Bromwich Albion last year
01:57move the ball well Bologna, they haven't done as fashion a great deal of
02:01guilt-edged chances when they have, Celtic have thrown bodies in the way of them, there's Ferguson
02:06well taken by Schmeichel, calmly taken. Yeah I think they're going to give that up for the second half
02:11to be honest, Celtic they're going to allow crosses, just gamble on the fact they've got good bodies in
02:16the middle, it's not Bologna's strength
02:22it's if they go over committing in those wide areas and they're able to play one-twos around them
02:26that's when they'll be the threat. Engels does well to Robb Bobega, Yang burning inside,
02:34amazing run from Yang, it's going to come to Maeda, it's just wide
02:42brilliant from Yang
02:45Maeda just not quite getting able to get around him, it was a bit behind him
02:49La Liga now looking to stretch Celtic, Tioni and Scales for company, it's a fine challenge from
02:54Liam Scales and Tioni will bash his teammate aside to make sure it doesn't go out
02:59Jonathan Rowe, Dalinga, Ferguson
03:16Miranda, space for the shot, Cini can hit them but not like that. Yeah they can like I say, the
03:22crosses, the shots from 25-30 yards they're going to allow that, that's the gamble that you've got to take
03:26you've got to back your centre-hears with the crossing, you've got to back Kasper Schmeichel
03:31we're just watching the game unfold now as a defensive-minded player, I'd absolutely love to
03:35be out there right now, bodies on the line, unity covering each other's backs, it's going to be so
03:42many big moments if Celtic can get through this game tonight. At the other end of the pitch do you
03:48still need to carry some kind of attacking threat, danger perhaps that you sit too deep and you invite
03:53so much pressure and you haven't got the ability to get out of there. I just don't think they're going to
03:56have it have the quality or the numbers to create any sort of sustained attack
04:05Donovan tussling with Dominguez, along your throw-in. Like I say it might be old school,
04:10it might be a long ball from Schmeichel getting a throw-in further up, pushing to a free kick or a corner
04:15Ferguson flicks it rounds, I think Bobega would have been offside in any case, and Yang looking to
04:22fight Maeda, he will be the one to drag Celtic forward. Yeah he will but you've just got to watch your energy
04:30I love it, I love his endeavour but just control it because ultimately they're going to need him to
04:36defend as well, but he's got an incredible engine, great work rate. Bobega will force that through to
04:49Dominguez, Yang brings him down. Yeah and the way this Bologna team operates they're not going to be bothered
04:56if they don't score in the first five, ten minutes, Italiano knows keeping up the pressure mentally,
05:02physically, that's when the cracks start to show, can they slide their one-twos through balls,
05:08sharp play, so as this half goes on Celtic will be tested more and more.
05:16And beaten since match they won in this competition Bologna, losing to Aston Villa,
05:21five matches in the league phase without defeat.
05:27Chance to load up the box here, Miranda delivers, Ferguson the target, Dominguez
05:32again a green and white wall between football and Golmaeth, Moro swings it in,
05:37Trusty gets on to it, Delinga back across and Schmeichel's there quickly
05:43to beat clear the volley from an exasperated Thijs Delinga.
05:52Yeah bodies on the line again, good save from Schmeichel, here we go again, the waves are going to keep on coming.
05:58It's Niccolò Casale who unleashed that volley, it's Niccolò Moro who loses out to Maeda
06:03and Donovan says play from there, chaps.
06:08Play for touch, isn't it, Jamie?
06:09Vincenzo Italiano cutting an increasingly animated figure down beneath us,
06:21Martin O'Neill and Sean Maloney prowling the dugout and they'll be happy to see balls like that drifting out of play.
06:23So you see the ball in here, chaos, bodies on the line, see Diza Maeda back there, just getting his shot off,
06:34getting comfortable save for Schmeichel but he's making them, he's going to have a few more to make tonight.
06:39That's what you want, you want to build frustration.
06:56Maeda couldn't hold off Hegem, Moro's ball takes a flick on its way through, Bologna can come again,
07:07Adil Zortea down the right touchline, Ferguson and Rowe making tracks ahead of him.
07:13Dalinga, Moro, look at the ground, Maeda's covered here and he wins the challenge too.
07:21He's everywhere, as he always is, Diza Maeda.
07:26Jonathan Rowe wasn't quite sure whether he wanted it there.
07:30Ferguson against Engels, Dominguez, it's opened up for him, not for long, Engels with the block.
07:39Rowe, it's Maeda now in the left back position doing the defending.
07:43Jonathan Rowe winds up another attack, does get space for the shot,
07:50Scales stooping to head clear, straight back to the Englishman,
07:54this time it's off the dish of Kieran Tierney.
07:57Zortea picks it up, fourth cross in a row, and away from Yang,
08:02Miranda spreading it for Dominguez, pass a bit too hot to handle.
08:08It's an onstop this from Bologna, Schmeichel coming out for it, trust he's there,
08:13Povega was waiting for the tap-in, rose shot, blocked by Maeda,
08:18Zortea, Maeda's there again,
08:22covering every blade of Bolognese turf.
08:25Cool, this is going to be a slog for this Celtic team,
08:31it's Colby Donovan down.
08:33Yeah, Tony Ralston's been sent out to warm up here,
08:36ahead of the rest of the Celtic subs.
08:38Colby Donovan is going to soldier on for the time being, and he's got more soldiering to do because
08:47it's another corner, 11th corner for Bologna.
08:50Morrow's corner, short again,
08:57Rowe, McGregor out-pressing,
09:00Eaglen half-clears,
09:02Ferguson beats Yang to it,
09:04and then Colby Donovan blasts it down the touchline again.
09:07It's a lonely place for Skorupski, knowing that he played a part in that first goal,
09:15just hoping and praying his team and getting back into it.
09:18This is the way the final 36 minutes and some change are going to pan out.
09:29Bologna will try to lay siege to this Celtic penalty box, Rowe away from Negrin,
09:34Tioni's there again.
09:35Every time they get a crossing, every time a ball is flashed into the box,
09:39it's a Celtic player who makes first contact.
09:44And perhaps unsurprisingly a double sub is in the post here from
09:48Vincenzo Italiano.
09:53Morrow chips it in, Yang nods into the air,
09:58Yang and McGregor go for it, Scales gets rid,
10:02and Tierney again.
10:04Every clearance, no matter if there's a Celtic player there to chase it.
10:08Feated with one heck of a roar from the away punters,
10:11that's neat from Zortea.
10:13Trying to find Rowe, Scales can only nod it to Pobega,
10:17Dominguez rattles the crossbar.
10:20Best chance so far for Bologna and the Argentine spurns it.
10:26Just couldn't get over it.
10:27Dominguez just won't drop for him, just slices it.
10:34Massive chance.
10:35Yeah, just lashes at it, Trosti just doing enough, getting in his eyeline.
10:43Big chance for Dominguez that.
10:45Vincenzo Italiano is going to send on Jens Oudgaard's attacking midfielder from Denmark,
10:56and he's replacing one of his sitters.
10:59It's Tommaso Pobega, former AC Milan player who's off,
11:04and that is very much an attacking substitution.
11:06So Niccolò Cambiaghi as well warming up, another forward-thinking player,
11:11that Oudgaard brought on to add some ammunition to that Borogna attack.
11:18Which so far is drawing a blank.
11:24Hegem, he's had his options closed down by Celtic here.
11:26Maeda was up very quickly.
11:28The worry for Celtic is that when it does drop, he could be exposed.
11:35It's Ortega.
11:36Ferguson's looking at the back post here.
11:39Roe, first touch for Odgaard, look at Maeda again, zipping around.
11:48Ferguson.
11:51Miranda, Maringa looking for it, scales away.
11:55Maeda there again.
11:56Just making life as tough as possible for Borogna.
12:03This is Ferguson.
12:06Morrow, it opened up for him, and the deflection
12:10threatened to bamboozle Gaspar Schmeichel.
12:16Maeda flying at him again, scales, body on the line.
12:26Morrow's corner, 2-1 the first contact, and that was an important touch from Donovan with
12:33Dominguez winding up another volley.
12:35Iranda keeps this move alive.
12:37Ferguson at the back post.
12:39Ebron puts it behind.
12:46Ferguson onto it quickly.
12:48Morrow.
12:49Morrow.
12:54Morrow.
12:54So watch Bologna's play going through Morrow, and Schmeichel can't keep that one out.
13:00And Bologna do have their goal, they do have their moments, their game-changing moments.
13:09Ty Stalinga at the back post, and sighs of relief mixed with roars of encouragement.
13:16Yeah, it felt like he was coming, he really did.
13:20Just that little flick there.
13:22Delinga at the back post.
13:23Schmeichel just couldn't get balanced as he moved across the goal.
13:27Nearly got enough on it.
13:30Such an important flick.
13:31Good finish, like I say.
13:33Felt like it was really coming.
13:35A lot of pressure on that Celtic goal.
13:37He's taking it well, he's headed it down.
13:40Schmeichel so unlucky.
13:42You're in the middle of the goal, you've got to make such good contact.
13:46Hey, Bologna.
13:52There's a check ongoing but the goal has been confirmed by VAR.
13:59And the cannon blast that greets every home goal inside Stario Renato Dallara sounds.
14:06And Celtic's task just got that much tougher.
14:13Doesn't necessarily change what Celtic have to do.
14:17But it gives Bologna encouragement, gives them something to chase.
14:21Something tangible for their attacking toil.
14:23And the 30,000 inside this stadium feeling a lot better about life now.
14:36Just ducked for cover though.
14:38And again.
14:38Yeah, I'm not sure how loudly the flares are coming over your devices at home, but I can tell you they're pretty noisy here where we are.
14:46The Lingus Cross, cleared away by Engels.
14:48Plumes of red smoke beginning to rise from the home end.
14:55The Fedecurva where the ultras are housed.
14:58As Urgaard moves laterally, then introduces Miranda.
15:02Higgum, Ferguson, every player camped around the edge of the Celtic box.
15:12Trusty and Donovan can't clear, McGregor to the rescue.
15:16Board guards is arriving really dangerously.
15:19Got the flick for the goal.
15:22It's a real threat.
15:23Ferguson again.
15:28Sortea, deep delivery.
15:31Dominguez won't get on the end of it.
15:35Morrow.
15:36Bologna recycling, putting it wide and sending it in the box at every opportunity.
15:44Higgum.
15:45Ferguson.
15:55Urgaard again.
15:58Urgaard from distance, straight down Schmeichel's throat.
16:06He's had a good impact since coming on.
16:10Never going to trouble Schmeichel from there.
16:15Our Celtic coping with this inevitable Bologna pressure.
16:19I think they're doing okay.
16:21But look, it's not ideal, is it?
16:23I think in Rio Atate, we were watching this in the dressing room.
16:28The moment of petulance.
16:30Put his teammates under real, real pressure here.
16:33Physically draining, mentally draining.
16:37At the moment, they've got something to hang on to.
16:42Here's Ro.
16:47It's these movements.
16:49Passes around the box as the game goes on.
16:53The legs get more tired.
16:55Gaps will open up.
16:56Gaps will open up.
16:57On.
17:01Odgaard's.
17:02Threatening again.
17:02On to the left foot.
17:04Dragging it wide.
17:05yeah a little bit of impatience there that's not how belong you want to play
17:15you want to keep probing as we just see there fractionally onside
17:20odd guard stooping finish at the back row well center of the goal
17:25see what it means to this stadium
17:35it's nicole cosale taking play forward for bologna

22:06Martin O'Neill furiously
22:12fidgeting with his team sheet
22:14he was in the dugout
22:17the last time Celtic won back-to-back away matches
22:20in Europe
22:21on the road to Seville
22:22some 23 years ago
22:23magnificent wins at Anfield against Liverpool

23:02this is the goal here
23:07Joe that
23:07put Celtic in front
23:09yeah
23:10it was a really good start
23:11wasn't it
23:12took their chance
23:14and then this
23:16when they were down to ten men
23:17trusty
23:18having been excellent in his own box
23:19lethal in the Bologna box as well
23:21this is what's got Bologna back in
23:28back believing
23:29good header
23:31the medics are on to ten to
23:37Colby Donovan here
23:38Tony Ralston going through his paces
23:40beneath us in case Donovan can't continue
23:42and Jonathan Rowe receiving those instructions
23:45from Vincenzo Italiano
23:48what more can Celtic do here
23:50is there anything Martin O'Neill can do
23:52in terms of
23:52good players on his bench
23:54those he's got at his disposal
23:55Colby Donovan's playing well
23:57but maybe the experience of Tony Ralston
23:59yeah I think it's just going to be
24:00fatigue is going to be kicking in very soon
24:02they've already played a long time
24:04with ten men against a very good team
24:06just like for like
24:09they need to be warm when they get on that pitch
24:14whatever the replacements are
24:15they're going into a huge battle
24:17need to understand what their job description is
24:20effectively played for 40 minutes
24:23this match with ten men
24:25so disappointing that you can't really account for it
24:32the onslaught resumes
24:42the onslaught resumes
24:42the onslaught resumes
24:46the onslaught resumes
24:46Miranda
24:47Hegem, Moro, Boronja continuing to push and to probe,
24:54cross fielder cut out by Benjamin Negrin, and then Yang,
24:59it's an interesting pass, put Maeda under pressure,
25:02Boronja fans calling for handball, Maeda battling with Jonathan Rowe,
25:07Boronja win it back, Zortea to Ferguson,
25:11a glance over his shoulder, not much happening in the box.
25:15Now there is, or guards, Maeda back to make the challenge,
25:19and Schmeichel carefully watches that go wide.
25:24You just see with that Yang decision there to play it across his box,
25:27that's just fatigue kicking in, Schmeichel watches this comfortably go past his post.
25:35Good battle here between Jonathan Rowe, Dyson and Maeda,
25:39probably was a handball, probably why he didn't give Maeda the foul.
25:45Celtic remember where Anki playing that final 24th spot,
25:53that secures qualification to the knockout phase of the Europa League,
25:56heading into this match state, one more match to go after tonight,
26:00play Utrecht at home in a week's time.
26:03If he can take three points into that, what a boost it would give them.
26:07Rowe against Maeda, Rowe gets the better of Maeda,
26:11and Engels onto the roof of his own nets.
26:17Yeah, there's your first sign of fatigue when Dyson Maeda's getting smoked like that by Jonathan Rowe,
26:21really sharp, coming in and out, agonisingly over the top.
26:27Rirande with yet another corner, Trusty's commanding header.
26:35Rowe regathers again, shaping for himself to shoot, it's brilliant!
26:41It's a hammer blow to Celtic.
26:47A gut punch delivered by Jonathan Rowe.
26:51And with 19 minutes to play, the Englishman draws Bologna level.
26:59He's looked really sharp tonight.
27:01Just seeing here, it's obviously gone through bodies,
27:03you can tell by the way Schmeichel's reacted,
27:05or any of them offside, I'd be asking for that, that's for sure.
27:09It's a good strike.
27:15Just can't get out to him, he's so tricky,
27:17never takes the first opportunity, always looking to create space.
27:21I think Schmeichel thinks Scales is going to get ahead on it.
27:32Jonathan Rowe just his second goal for Bologna since making the move from Marseille in the summer.
27:38The officials are just clearing this goal as Bologna withdraw their captain
27:42and bring on their top scorer for the season,
27:45Riccardo Orsolini in jersey number seven is coming on.
27:48Ferguson and Dominguez making way.
27:50Orsolini and Cambiaghi, both substantial goal threats.
27:56Orsolini with ten goals this season.
27:59And Cambiaghi went into his first Italy call-up a couple of months ago.
28:06Bologna back on level terms.
28:10And Celtic back to square one.
28:12Having put themselves in such a promising position.
28:16Where do you go from now, Joe?
28:18Is it about just making sure you leave here with something?
28:21I think so.
28:23I think so.
28:24They've just got to dig in, be up for the battle.
28:26Look, is this game tonight going to define their season?
28:29Absolutely not.
28:30But their mentality, their effort, what they're willing to do for the badge,
28:34that will shine through on nights like this.
28:36You can't be disheartened.
28:44You play the hand that you've been dealt.
28:46Celtic, no doubt about it.
28:48We're in a good position.
28:49Hattate, you're so disappointed.
28:52Celtic, we're disappointed, giving up that one-man advantage for so long.
28:56Bologna have stayed calm.
28:58The build-up's been excellent.
29:00They've been probing, they've been pushing.
29:02There's plenty more to come.
29:04Jonathan Rowe burning through the middle.
29:06McGregor gets with him.
29:07First touch for the leading scorer.
29:09Orsolini.
29:12Zortea on the overlap.
29:13But Schmeichel is out quickly enough.
29:15Orsolini also taking on the captaincy from Lewis Ferguson.
29:25It's been shared around a bit this season for Bologna.
29:28Ferguson, of course, skippering Bologna to Coppa Italia glory last season.
29:36Club captain Lorenzo Isilvestri, 36 years of age, is on the bench tonight.
29:41Speaking of which, Mark O'Neill is lining up a couple more subs beneath us.
29:46We can see several players being readied for action.
29:50Johnny Kenny is one of them.
29:54It does suggest that Dyson Maeda's mega-shift may soon be at an end.
30:00You've got to think about the importance of the weekend as well.
30:03No getting away from that.
30:06Orsolini against Maeda.
30:08Tioni stands in the way.
30:11Yeah, it's Tony Ralston and Johnny Kenny who are preparing to make their entrances for Celtic.
30:18Tough ask with the boys coming on.
30:20Roll your sleeves up, get yourselves ready.
30:23Casale.
30:35Orsolini.
30:36Again sizing up Maeda.
30:38Orsolini towards the back post.
30:40Kambiaghi is able to keep this in.
30:49Liranda.
30:51Orsolini is waiting for it!
30:53Flag is up in any case.
30:55Good stop from Schmeichel.
30:57Hung like a salmon there at the back post, didn't he?
31:02Just looking on the blind side of Scales there, but he's offside.
31:06Another threat for this tiring Celtic team to deal with.
31:11Looks like Jonathan Rowe's going to a little number ten slot with Orsolini taking his role on the right-hand side.
31:18That double change is going to be made.
31:21Yang is making way.
31:23Tony Ralston and Johnny Kenny are coming on.
31:27And it's Colby Donovan who is going to be sacrificed along with the Korean international.
31:33How impressed have you been with Colby Donovan tonight, Joe?
31:42Yeah, I really enjoy the way he represents.
31:45You know, he's a good player.
31:46He's obviously not going to be able to express his talent going forward.
31:50He's got the mentality to be a Celtic player, that's for sure.
31:55He's up for the fight, up for the battle.
31:57Body on the line.
31:58Tony Ralston offers as well.
32:03I completely understand why this might be the case, Joe,
32:08but do you feel Celtic have set on a little bit too deep in this second half,
32:12maybe invited pressure, or is that just the way that you have to approach it when you're down to ten,
32:17regardless of whether you're two up or it's nil-nil?
32:20I just think it's difficult with Bologna being such a good ball-playing team.
32:24I think Celtic have gone down the route thinking, you know what,
32:27their strength isn't slinging it in the box.
32:30So that's what they've encouraged them to do.
32:32I think if they stepped out, they'd leave themselves exposed.
32:36They look so comfortable on the ball as Bologna teams.
32:38They've grown in confidence.
32:40They just want to make it as difficult as they possibly can.
32:43But it's just such a long, long time to try and endure that sort of pressure.
32:48And ultimately it's shown.
32:50Could they have done it any different? I don't think so, no.
32:53Forza Bologna is the chance around Renato Dell'Ara.
33:08Celtic still looking to carry a threat here, Johnny Kenny drives them down the pitch.
33:12Casale has a hold of his jersey, hopefully not interested for now,
33:16but Johnny Kenny does buy his team some much-needed territory.
33:20See, that would have been ideal, Johnny Kenny having his shirt ripped there.
33:23It's a foul, can you get your team off the pitch?
33:26Even moments like this.
33:33Just allowed for a little lapse in concentration from Bologna.
33:35Just had it all their way in this second half.
33:37Celtic have sent Liam Scales and Austen Trusty forward for this.
33:41They feel there is something yet to be plundered from this opportunity.
33:46Continuing with the long throw, Scales and Trusty lurking.
33:49Maeda was waiting too.
33:51They've still got the energy and the pace to get back.
33:54That's an important touch from Arna Engels.
33:56With Roe set to spring himself.
33:58Maeda back to Engels, swaggering into the box.
34:01Johnny Kenny's in behind.
34:03Big save from Skorupski.
34:05And Kenny can't get to the rebounds.
34:07Celtic showing an attacking pulse.
34:10But now they've got to get back.
34:12Roe flicking it up.
34:16Odgaard getting onto it now.
34:24Kambiaghi.
34:25Dalinga waiting.
34:26Tierney stooping.
34:28Corner Bologna.
34:30Yeah, brilliant from Tierney, but that's what it is.
34:32Celtic coming out, attacking, looking, threatening.
34:36As soon as it turns over.
34:38Slick play from Bologna.
34:49Juan Miranda winds up another corner.
34:52Or Solini...
34:54Oh, Scales gets in there brilliantly, and he'll take the foul as well.
35:03Good from Liam Scales.
35:05Just seemed wouldn't sit for him.
35:07He's never going to back out of that.
35:21What will be going through Martin Neil and Sean Maloney's heads as we enter the final ten minutes of normal time?
35:25They'll, of course, be thinking how can we get further up the field.
35:28They'll also have one eye on the clock.
35:30They know a point would be absolutely unbelievable in these circumstances.
35:35Here's Ortega.
35:36Although you haven't lost here in the Europa League.
35:3817 matches.
35:40Formidable here in this competition.
35:42Here's Ortega.
35:43Here's Ortega.
35:44Here's Ortega.
35:45Hold on, you haven't lost here in the Europa League.
35:4717 matches.
35:48Formidable here in this competition.
35:49Cambiagi burning away from Ralston, he sticks to his task and comes up with the ball.
35:52Had to get that right.
35:53Johnny Kenny, can he hold it up for Celtic?
35:54Not this time.
35:55Cambiagi.
35:56Ralston again gets a foot in.
35:57And Ralston looking to spring Maeda on the break.
35:58Not easy for Tony Ralston to come on in this situation.
36:07Two brilliant interventions there.
36:10Of Salini.
36:11Tragi, Ralston again gets a foot in, and Ralston looking to spring Maeda on the break.
36:19Not easy for Tony Ralston to come on in this situation, two brilliant interventions there.
36:28Mussolini, Tierney pressing higher this time, something trying to squeeze Bologna at the
36:35other end of the pitch, Scales and Negrin doing that.
36:41There's always going to be space there for the home team, and Zortea finds it with Miranda,
36:46hugging the left touchline.
36:49Cambiagi.
36:54Moro for Casale.
36:58Mussolini, nice touch with the left.
37:01Negrin slows his progress.
37:06Moro, again Maeda.
37:09Anaerobic fitness through the roof.
37:12I don't know what his VO2 max is, going to your fitness, but he's going to be the best
37:17in the Celtic squad.
37:18He's a beast.
37:19Miranda to Cambiagi, having a run at Ralston.
37:22Touch looked a bit heavy.
37:24Officials say that's still in play.
37:27You can hear perhaps what Tony Ralston made of that.
37:29It was Schmeichel, he was letting him know.
37:32Miranda keeps it going.
37:34Old guard couldn't wrap his foot round it.
37:35Anywhere will do for Celtic.
37:40And Alston in again, only to Old guard.
37:43The offside flag is raised.
37:47And another two and a half minutes eaten out of the clock.
37:50Yeah, just getting lazy a little bit there.
37:58Good line from Celtic.
38:01Schmeichel
38:02He's telling the fourth official that had gone out.
38:08There's those two little interventions from Tony Ralston.
38:12Brilliant to get yourself into the game.
38:14Into the battle as early as you can.
38:16With his 150th Celtic outing on the weekends.
38:22Cup win over Auchin like Talbot, Tony Ralston.
38:25Two big
38:25defensive interventions
38:28since coming on tonight.
38:30He's going to have a few more before the night's done.
38:32If they're going to have any success.
38:44Orsolini.
38:46Negrin standing firm.
38:48Orsolini keeps possession.
38:52I understand he was recovering from bout of flu,
38:54Riccardo Orsolini,
38:55which is why he wasn't chosen to start tonight.
38:58He looks sharp since he's come on.
39:02Gambiagi to the underlapping Miranda.
39:05Trusty clears.
39:07Trusty's done plenty of that tonight.
39:09A rock at the back for Celtic.
39:11Scorer of that vital second goal.
39:13Gordon, you're going to make another sub in a moment or two.
39:19Miranda's cross.
39:20Trusty again.
39:21Filing the threshold for Celtic.
39:23Miranda sends it in again.
39:29Orsolini.
39:31Got up above Kieran Tierney that time.
39:33Couldn't get over the header enough.
39:36I think Tierney just did enough.
39:38Defended so well in these situations.
39:40It's probably a corner, actually.
39:43Good defender from Kieran Tierney.
39:44Orsolini getting the jump on him.
39:48Greek defender, Karolimpos Igogiannis,
39:51is coming on for Igolo Casale.
39:54It's pretty much a like-for-like substitution at the back
39:56for Vincenzo Italiano and Bologna.
40:00Slopped in there in the middle of the defensive four for the home team.
40:04Odgaard beating McGregor in the air.
40:18Kambiagi, that has found Roe.
40:20Odgaard continued his run.
40:21Roe just couldn't reach him.
40:24Goal scorer on it again.
40:25De Linga.
40:29Zortea.
40:30Negrin again defending in that left-back area.
40:33Zortea gets the better of him.
40:35Sends it across.
40:37Too much on it.
40:41Igogiannis, his first touch.
40:43De Linga knocks it down.
40:45And Schmeichel didn't know much about that.
40:47But he does enough big right forearm to keep Celtic level.
40:52Zortea back in.
40:53McGregor away.
40:55Morrow.
40:57These are fraught final moments for Celtic.
41:01Miranda.
41:03Kambiagi.
41:08Another cross comes in.
41:09Another Austin trusty header.
41:11To empty it from the box.
41:14The save from Schmeichel.
41:16Stood his ground.
41:17You know from that sort of distance when people get hold of it,
41:19you're not going to get it if it's in the corner.
41:21You're not going to let it go through you.
41:24Kambiagi.
41:24Dalinga's in behind.
41:27Trusty just throws himself at it.
41:29And collapses in a heap.
41:32He has emptied the tank for Celtic tonight.
41:34And, well, I think the picture tells the story of where that football hit him.
41:40Ouch.
41:40That is body on the line.
41:44As we see this from Schmeichel just standing his ground.
41:48Bats it away.
41:50Any half volley from six, seven yards out.
41:52Takes a deflection as well.
41:54No nonsense from the Dane.
41:57Should he do better for this one, Joe?
41:58He's just, he's just unsighted, I think.
42:01I think he just sees Liam Scales in front of him.
42:03You'll see from this angle, kind of dips his head.
42:06Schmeichel just can't get through it.
42:08And the moment it goes past Scales, he can't react.
42:11Through Austin, trusty.
42:15I think most men who've suffered a blow to that part of their anatomy
42:21know that walk all too well.
42:24Celtic turning now to Paulo Bernardo.
42:27Come on for Arna Engels.
42:32Just to give some more energy, some fresh legs in those midfield trenches
42:36where Celtic players will be covering such distances tonight.
42:40Staying so mentally focused.
42:42Two and a half minutes plus stoppage time to play.
42:48Massive, massive moments.
42:57Schmeichel whacks it high into the Italian sky.
43:02McGregor forwards.
43:06Bernardo's first touch is to win the header, but concede the foul.
43:12Bologna will want to get this forward quickly.
43:14Time is against the Italians.
43:23Remember, Celtic down to 10 men since the 34th minute.
43:26And Real Hatate saw the flash of Illocard for the second time in three minutes.
43:33Two ill-advised tackles from the Japanese, who had put Celtic in front
43:37after just a couple of minutes of the 90 himself.
43:43Bologna have clawed their way back from 2-0 to 2-2 each
43:46against the 10 men from Glasgow.
43:48Is there to be one final chapter written?
43:54Orselini against Negrin.
43:56Gets the cross in, and Urgaard.
43:59Too much power on it.
44:04Brilliant switch of play.
44:06Orselini takes it beautifully.
44:08Urgaard just can't get over it.
44:09Bologna continue to press.
44:14They feel the opportunity is there for them.
44:17Orselini gets onto it again.
44:19First time cross, but Maeda can pick it up.
44:22And Celtic will look to spring Johnny Kenny away.
44:25And he can drive Celtic through.
44:26Maeda's three in the middle.
44:28Kenny just didn't see him in time.
44:30Does find Paolo Bernardo.
44:32First touch is important.
44:33Urgaard all over him.
44:35McGregor steps in.
44:37But it's also Ursaulini's football again.
44:40Urgaard.
44:41Scales comes out.
44:42And that's a Celtic throw.
44:44That's brilliant from Liam Scales.
44:46I feel like every tackle is so important right now.
44:58About to find out how much stoppage time is to be added.
45:01I think Ursaulini probably knew that was a throw-in.
45:05Not a free kick.
45:06No, he didn't.
45:07He wasn't sure.
45:07A couple of seconds.
45:12McGregor towards Negrin.
45:15Swede can't get onto it.
45:17McGregor cushions it.
45:19Celtic have it back.
45:21Johnny Kenny goes down.
45:23He's not getting the decision that time.
45:26Celtic throw-in.
45:28Are they going to have a crack at this?
45:30Are they going to send the centre-backs forwards again?
45:33Alston Trusty is asking for guidance from the bench.
45:37That's just strong there.
45:38But he'll try anything.
45:40Celtic are rolling the dice here.
45:42That's the verdict from Martin O'Neill.
45:44Get in, he says.
45:44Get forwards.
45:46Scales, Trusty, Kenny, Maeda and Negrin in the box.
45:50Have Celtic got the minerals?
45:55Have they got that serrated edge?
45:57Scales with the flick.
45:59Skorupski has put it out, but it's going to be a free kick in any case.
46:05Foul on Zortea and the build-up inside the Bologna box.
46:13One minute of the additional five played.
46:15Ragdolled him there.
46:28Don't think he quite needs to stay down like that with his team chasing the win.
46:32Oh.
46:34Guess who's made that again?
46:35Dyson Maeda.
46:37Pressing from minute one to minute 91.
46:39Forcing the error from Bologna.
46:41And Kambiaghi.
46:43And Johnny Kenny asks to run the channels to get in the corner.
46:47It's a slash clearance.
46:48Maeda gets to it.
46:49Negrin.
46:50And Maeda.
46:52A bit too boisterous in his chase.
46:56And now Bologna look to turn the tables.
46:58Orselini's touch is heavy, but McGregor can't get there.
47:01Orselini spreading it well.
47:03Miranda.
47:04Kambiaghi.
47:05De Linga and Urgaard in the box.
47:08Overlapping run from Miranda.
47:09Odgaard was there.
47:11Tierney wins the foul.
47:14And Celtic breathe again.
47:16I'll tell you what.
47:16Kieran Tierney's been there at that back post.
47:18Every single time.
47:20Body on the line.
47:22A very flattering image there.
47:27On a serious note.
47:29He's been there when he's required.
47:32Experienced man coming back up the road.
47:35Put his body on the line for Celtic again.
47:37Kasper Schmeichel appreciates that.
47:40Let me tell you.
47:40Johnny Kenny just leaving one on him.
47:46into the dying embers of this Europa League contest.
48:01At the moment Celtic taking a crucial point into the final match day.
48:05Seven days' time at home to Utrecht.
48:07A win next week might well be enough to carry them into the knockout phase.
48:14In between that, a small matter of a top of the table clash with hearts in the Scottish Premiership.
48:19Still the six points separating those two teams in the league.
48:26In the here and now, two more minutes of defensive duty is required.
48:33Orsolini.
48:33It's a clever touch back to Zortea.
48:35Approaching last chance saloon for Bologna.
48:39Rome.
48:41Clever footwork.
48:41Orsolini.
48:43Orsolini.
48:44Wants it on that left foot.
48:46Miranda's free at the back.
48:48Got time to take it down.
48:50The pass is poor and Bernardo.
48:52Blasted against Cambiagi.
48:55Cambiagi's picked his pocket though.
48:58Likudiannis with the cross.
49:00Up goes Tierney.
49:01Trusty half away.
49:03Orgar keeping it alive.
49:05And Orsolini over the top.
49:07And that might be the last chance gone.
49:10Tell you what, as well as Orsolini's done since coming on.
49:14Jonathan Rose not played a part.
49:16They've moved him inside.
49:17He's not seen any ball.
49:20See again, Chiarantini taking yet another whack in the middle of the penalty area.
49:25Celtic bodies on the line.
49:26Doesn't matter.
49:27Scales throwing himself at it.
49:33Credit to this Celtic team tonight.
49:35Goodness me, what an effort.
49:36So far.
49:37Last couple of seconds coming.
49:45Kenny.
49:47Just keeping Celtic up here.
49:49And that's a clever pass.
49:50Negren.
49:51Wrong side of Hegem.
49:53Maeda's waiting in the middle.
49:54Just too much on it.
49:56And now Bologna can streak away.
49:59Maeda emptying the tank to get back.
50:02Bernardo's touch was heavy.
50:04And Ro.
50:04And Bologna come again.
50:06Final seconds of stoppage time.
50:10Miranda's cross.
50:12Dimes is on the edge.
50:13Negren.
50:14Not taking any risks.
50:15He'll just pump it downfield.
50:16That'll do for Celtic.
50:17That'll do for Celtic.
50:19Referee has a glance at his watch.
50:21Still we play on.
50:21Hegem.
50:22Hegem.
50:23Orsolini.
50:24Orcelini, Miranda again in space.
50:30One last chance, one last defensive stand,
50:33and Austin Trusney, colossal for Celtic,
50:36a colossal point for Celtic.
50:40It's all over in Borogna,
50:43and the stony silence around Stadio Renato De Rara
50:47tells the story of how doggedly,
50:50how diligently and how abrasively
50:53Celtic have defended their castle tonight.
50:56Kasper Schmeichel applauding each and every titan in green and white
51:01because for all that a 2-0 lead may have slipped through their fingers,
51:05for all that a precious away win on the road in Europe may be gone
51:10in the final standings.
51:12That point could be oh so very precious.
51:15Rayo Hatati's early goal putting them in front.
51:18The Japanese himself dismissed for too wild, too ill-advised,
51:22tackles in just three minutes.
51:25Austin Trusney stabbing them 2-0 ahead
51:28and into Europa League dreamland before the break.
51:31But Borogna fought back.
51:32Dalinga's volley, Rose blistering strike.
51:35The right Fox Schmeichel to give Celtic palpitations,
51:38to give the Italian supporters belief.
51:41But that belief has fizzled out.
51:44And it's the two and a half thousand hordes from Glasgow
51:47who are shouting loudest and proudest in the north of Italy.
51:51One enormous point for Celtic.
51:54Frustration for Bologna.
51:552-2 it finishes here at Stadio Renato Dallara.
