Celtic 2-1 Shakhtar Donetsk.

Massimo Donati's injury time strike paved the way to the last 16 of the Champions League.

It didn't look too promising when Brandao opened the scoring for Shakhtar in the fourth minute after a poor header from John Kennedy landed at the strikers feet.

Worse was to follow with Lee Naylor picking up a calf strain then Kennedy being stretchered off before half time leaving a back four of Gary Caldwell, Stephen McManus, substitute Steven Pressley and Paul Hartley.

The hoops weren't to be denied however with Jiri Jarosik belting in an equaliser as the clock struck 45 minutes.

Jarosik could have put Celtic in front during the five minutes of added time but headed wide with the goal gaping from an Aiden McGeady cross from the right.

There weren't many chances in the second half but right at the death McGeady pulled the ball back for Massimo Donati who struck the ball across goal into the net to spark incredible scenes of celebration.

A point in Milan next week will definately put Celtic through after we helped Milan through last night by denying Shakhtar a point.

Celts stick three past Aberdeen to stay clear at the top.

Celtic were on song today as they crushed Aberdeen 3-0, it could easily have been 6 but I'll settle for the same score on Wednesday against Shakhtar Donetsk!

Despite silly stories about being injured Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink headed the hoops in front in the 12th minute with on-form Aiden McGeady sending in a 25-yarder for the second in the 26th minute.

The team was on fire with Jiri Jarosik and Scott Brown almost adding to the lead before half time while Scott McDonald battled away terrifying the Aberdeen defence.

McDonald got on the scoresheet in the 49th minute after a great forceful run from Brown sent him through on Jamie Langfield, the keeper seemed to block it then let it squirm free with Skippy not hesitating to take his second chance and put the ball in the net.

Artur Boruc and Paul Hartley were missing but both look likely to be back for Wednesday's match with Shakhtar.

Celtic reserves draw 1-1 at Kilmarnock

A very youthful reserve side, plus Steven Pressley and Derek Riordan drew 1-1 at Kilmarnock with Riordan scoring the Celtic goal after 12 minutes from a quickly taken free kick.

Paul Caddis made a welcome return at right-back while u-19's Kevin Cawley, Graham Carey and Luca Santowocito all started with Paul Cahillane replacing Carey for the last 18 minutes.
