Quick Review

Chris Sutton and Didier Agathe won their fitness battle to start for Celtic, with Juninho and Momo Sylla dropping to the bench.
The breakthrough came with Kaka sending Shevchenko clear in the box and the Ukraine striker hammered the ball through the arms of the advancing Marshall.
Henri Camara lashed the ball well over from just inside the box after a clever knock-down by John Hartson.
Celtic looked more attack-minded after the break and Dida did well to hold a low drive from Camara. Celtic lost Alan Thompson to a hamstring injury after 58 minutes and he was replaced in midfield byJuninho.
Another low Camara drive was smothered by the goalkeeper before Celtic eventually got the equaliser. Varga rose above Shevchenko to head home a Petrov corner from 12 yards.
It looked like Celtic would collect their first-ever away point in the Champions League after seven matches. But Shevchenko broke clear and his low cross into the six-yard box was forced home by Inzaghi and a Pirlo free-kick deceived Marshall after striking the head of Neil Lennon.

Trivia

Two goals by AC Milan in the final two minutes left Celtic without a point.
