Hard-fought draw sees Celtic through to Champions League play-off

Celtic have progressed to the Champions League after managing a goalless draw against Azerbaijani club FK Qarabag in Baku on Wednesday night.

While the hosts enjoyed more of the possession, however, they struggled to create any clear opportunities against a disciplined visiting defence at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium.

Ronny Deila's side never looked threatening in the game, but they held firm to ensure they will be one of the five seeded teams in the 'Champions' section of Friday's play-off draw.

The 1-0 lead from the first leg meant that the Hoops progressed 1-0 on aggregate.
