Celtic progressed to the play-off following a dramatic 2-1 victory over Astana on Wednesday, when Moussa Dembele scored a stoppage-time penalty to settle the tie.

Leigh Griffiths, who scored in the first leg at the Astana Arena to earn Celtic a 1-1 draw, had given the Scottish champions the lead with a late penalty in the first half before the Kazakhstan side levelled through Agim Ibraimi's strike on 62 minutes.
