GOAL CELTIC

PENALTY CELTIC!

Callum Osmand weaves into the area and draws a foul from Martin Erlic for a clear penalty. Reo Hatate has the honours...

Forest make an interesting change as Murillo replaces Gibbs-White. Protecting the point?

GOAL DISALLOWED

Sturm Graz have the ball in the net but Maurice Malone moved a touch to quickly and his tap in is ruled out for offside.
