Shout out to Lille keeper Berke Ozer<\/strong>, who has saved two <\/em>Roma penalties in the last 10 minutes to preserve his team\u2019s lead. Artem Dovbyk and Matias Soule both saw their spot-kicks saved. There\u2019s a bit more on Ozer here, although in the interests of balance I should point out that my list also included Borna Sosa.<\/p>\n

GOAL! Celtic 0-2 Braga (Mart\u00ednez 84′)<\/h2>\n

Oh dear. Celtic fans head for the exits en masse after Braga double their lead. Rodrigues\u2019 shot was parried by Schmeichel and while Gabri Mart\u00ednez\u2019s first shot was blocked, an attempted clearance ricochets off his shins and into the net.<\/p>\n

Red card! <\/strong>Palace were cruising, but Borna Sosa has been sent off after a second yellow card, for what was a pretty careless challenge. There\u2019s just under 15 minutes for Dynamo Kyiv to get back into the game \u2026<\/p>\n

Celtic are pushing for an equaliser<\/strong>, but risk conceding a second on the break. Jo\u00e3o Moutinho is on for Braga, while Brendan Rodgers has thrown on Arne Engels and Reo Hatate.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Given how both teams\u2019 seasons have panned out so far, Palace getting demoted to the Conference League and replaced by Nottingham Forest looks to have actually worked out in the Eagles\u2019 favour.<\/p>\n

Dynamo Kyiv 0-2 Crystal Palace (Nketiah 57′)<\/h2>\n

Moments later, Nketiah does get his goal, finishing well after Yeremy Pi\u00f1o\u2019s lovely turn and cross into the area. It\u2019s no more than Palace deserve.<\/p>\n

Another disallowed goal, <\/strong>more clear-cut this time as substitute Eddie Nketiah\u2019s effort for Crystal Palace is chalked off for an offside \u2026<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Celtic thought they were level, <\/strong>but Kelechi Iheanacho\u2019s strike has been disallowed by VAR, who ruled that the forward controlled the ball with his arm in the buildup. From the angle we\u2019ve seen, it wasn\u2019t clear the ball touched his arm at all.<\/p>\n

Half time: Dynamo Kyiv 0-1 Crystal Palace<\/h2>\n

A fine start to the Conference League proper for Palace, with Daniel Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s header giving the visitors a deserved lead in Lublin.<\/p>\n

Half time: Celtic 0-1 Braga<\/h2>\n

Another tough European night for Brendan Rodgers so far, as the visitors lead through Ricardo Horta\u2019s long-range shot, which had Kasper Schmeichel flapping at thin air.<\/p>\n

Share<\/p>\n

Preamble<\/h2>\n

Nottingham Forest\u2019s last home game in Europe was a sobering affair: hopeful after returning from Munich with just a 2-1 deficit, the hosts shipped five goals to a rampant Bayern side in March 1996. Tonight\u2019s opponents, Midtjylland, did not even exist back then \u2013 the Danish side were formed by a merger in 1999 but have amassed extensive European experience in the last decade, and represent a tough test for Ange Postecoglou, still seeking his first win as Forest manager.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa have also made an underwhelming start to the season and face a more established European name in Feyenoord \u2013 whose home ground in Rotterdam was scene of Villa\u2019s greatest night back in 1982. While fans enjoy a nostalgic trip to De Kuip, Unai Emery\u2019s chief concern will be maintaining momentum after eking out successive victories over Bologna and Fulham in the last week.<\/p>\n

Speaking of tough starts, Russell Martin may have finally won a game and boosted his standing among Rangers fans by around 0.0001%, but Sturm Graz look capable of returning the beleaguered manager to rock bottom. Another manager under pressure, Aberdeen\u2019s Jimmy Thelin, welcomes Shakhtar Donetsk to Pittodrie in the Conference League.<\/p>\n

All those games kick off at 8pm (BST), but we\u2019ll have updates from Crystal Palace\u2019s Conference League trip to face Dynamo Kyiv in Poland and Celtic\u2019s home Europa League game against Braga, plus all the other hot Euro action. Hold tight!<\/p>\n
