This is the big one...
It is an emergency call from Ronny Deila to the Celtic team ahead of tonight's game.
The first leg score finished with a 4-1 Warsaw win.
Here are the scenarios of qualification for both sides:
Celtic will progress in 90 minutes if: -They win by 3 goals or more -Legia Warsaw do not score more than one away goal
Legia Warsaw will progress in 90 minutes if: -They lose by 2 goals or less -They draw -They win -They score 2 goals and the Aggregate is level
The game will go into Extra Time and maybe penalties if: -Warsaw score a single away goal -The Aggregate is tied at 5-5, any higher results in a Legia Warsaw win.
It is a difficult, but not impossible task for Celtic. Last year in the Champions League play-off round they lost 2-0 away from home against Shakhter Karagandy, in the second leg they had to rely on a 91st minute goal from James Forrest to qualify for the group stage by 3-2 on aggregate. |

Celtic losing 4-1, no chance of them coming back. But that's what I said last season after they were losing to that Kazakh team before they came back. SO you never know

even when the game is at a stadium an hour away from Celtic Park.
Celtic are pushing for an early goal, dominating the possession in the first 6 minutes. Izaguirre caussing too many mistakes |

First chance of the game come to Celtic, Matthews breaks past defensive 4 and tries to cut bat the ball, keeper collects.
Still 0-0 (4-1 AGG) |

| Fantastic move by Celtic, the ball goes to Charlie Mulgrew outside the box but the shot was underpowered, still 0-0 |

Celtic trying to play attacking, they mess up the attack, a counter attack happens, rinse and repeat.
Unless Celtic get a goal in the first half, Celtic will go out. |

| Legia Warsaw are sitting back waiting for a crack in the defence, it is starting to work, Celtic are nearing towards a goal. |

| 10 minutes left of first half, Celtic have had the best chances of the game so far. A goal is in store tonight, but I don't think there will be 3. |

I wouldn't call it the darkest day for Celtic.
Every new manager somehow goes out of Europe first season anyways. |

I've stopped watching because Celtic need 4 goals in 45 minutes.
After a terrible first half, where do you think they can pull off that kind of miracle? |
