Celtic are through to the playoff round for the Champions League group stages but they needed a late penalty from Moussa Dembele.

In fact they needed two penalties to beat Astana of Kazakhstan, having come into the game drawing 1-1 from the first leg away.

Leigh Griffiths converted a penalty kick for Brendan Rodgers' side to make it 1-0 just before the break.
