1909: After a nerve-shredding second half in Moscow, Celtic clinch their place in the final qualifying round of the Champions League. Manager Tony Mowbray secures his first competitive win in his second game in charge of the club. Thanks for all your comments tonight, see you soon!
Red and Black on My Sport: "Great result. Travel sickness cured!" Join the debate
1858: Mowbray has just told BBC Scotland that his Celtic side deserved their win in Moscow, and to progress in the competition. Potential opponents for the Glasgow club in the final qualifying round are: Arsenal, Lyon, Sporting Lisbon, Panathinaikos and Stuttgart.
1854: Have you got your breath back yet, Celtic supporters? Manager Tony Mowbray guides his side to the final qualifying round of the Champions League, and with it, secures the club's first away victory in the competition since 2003.
1850: Four minutes into injury time. Celtic supporters inside the stadium are jubilant; the Dinamo players look shell-shocked. All eyes on the referee but play rages on.
1848: Georgios Samaras waltzes past a couple of Dinamo Moscow defenders inside the penalty area before arrowing an accurate shot low past the despairing Gabulov. Celtic have a crucial second goal, and, as things stand, are going through 2-1 on aggregate.
1847: GOAL DINAMO MOSCOW 0-2 CELTIC
1846: Shaun Maloney fires the ball straight down the throat of Dinamo goalkeeper Gabulov. What a chance!
1843: After such a tight first half, the game is now more stretched than the waistbands on Celebrity Fit Club. Just over three minutes of the 90 remaining.
1841: Celtic midfielder Scott Brown threads a superb ball through the Dinamo Moscow defence, but fellow substitute Georgios Samaras fails to time his run and is rightly flagged offside. What a chance! The Greek will hope Celtic won't rue his mistake.
1837: Eight minutes remaining and Shaun Maloney is increasingly looking like the Celtic's sole creative outlet. Another mazy run is cut short for a handball.
1835: Georgios Samaras is brought on as goalscorer Scott McDonald trudges off. The towering Greek striker will bust a gut to fire a dramatic second goal to clinch the tie for Celtic.
Requiem7 on My Sport in reply to Kambalautd:"Whether Celtic deserve a place in the champions league is neither here nor there. It'll be an achievement if they get through to the league stages." Join the debate
1830: There's a little over 15 minutes left at Khimki Stadium. With the sides tied at 1-1, extra-time and penalties look more than likely.
1828: Celtic right-back Andreas Hinkel dinks a beautiful cross to the back box, just asking to be headed home. But Fortune is cooling his heels on the bench after being replaced by Brown, and the Dinamo Moscow defence mop up the danger.
BBC Radio Scotland pundit Murdo MacLeod: "I think Tony Mowbray wants to ensure his side win the midfield battle."
1825: Scott Brown is introduced for Marc-Antoine Fortune. Can Celtic find a second goal to win the tie? It's still 1-1 on aggregate.
Kambalautd chips in from over on My Sport: "I wish Celtic, with this sluggish performance, could be shown the exit door. They don't deserve a place in the Champion League." A touch harsh? Join the debate
1820: Celtic manager Tony Mowbray, with hand on Scott Brown's shoulder, gives the substitute a few tactical words on the touchline. We may see the former Hibs midfielder introduced before much longer.
1818: Shaun Maloney goes dancing down the left-hand side, but a sea of blue jerseys swarm around the diminutive midfielder and Dinamo Moscow regain possession. Just under half an hour for either of these sides to find a winner.
1812: Andreas Hinkel atones for his earlier howler by clearing Kombarov's header off the line. Celtic clinging on to their 1-0 lead here.
1808: Dreadful mistake by Celtic right-back Andreas Hinkel as he inexplicably allows a cross to slip under his foot, but Dinamo Moscow fail to profit as Svezhov's shot fizzes wide of Artur Boruc's left-hand post.
1803: The Dinamo Moscow fans give a low roar before launching into song in an effort to energise their troops. They looked far more menacing in the first leg with Alexander Kokorin up front. Come to think of it, he must have the highest shirt number in football - 99. Join the debate
1801: The second half is under way.
1749: Well then... Scott McDonald's goal has brightened up a fairly drab first half and given Celtic hope of progressing to the next qualifying round of the Champions League. Remember folks, refresh the page to see the latest scores from tonight's other games.
1746: Half-time in the Khimki Stadium. Celtic lead 1-0 tonight and the tie - it's 1-1 on aggregate.
1743: GOAL Dinamo 0-1 Celtic. Andreas Hinkel's deep cross finds the head of Scott McDonald, and the Australian international steers a header beyond Gabulov from close range. The tie is level. Game on!
1737: Celtic defender Glenn Loovens chops down Dinamo number 10 Aleksandr Kerzhakov just outside the box. The playmaker dusts himself down but fires the ball into the Celtic wall. We're still goalless going into the final five minutes of the first half. Dinamo will be happy enough.
1734: Celtic are crying out for a creative influence in the middle of the park.
1733: With Dinamo enjoying a 1-0 lead from the first leg, they look reluctant to throw too many men forward. Marc-Antoine Fortune forces a corner for Tony Mowbray's side, but again the delivery is poor. Still goalless after 33 minutes of a low-key first half.
1729: Shaun Maloney has the first shot on target for Celtic from about 25 yards, but it trundles into the arms of Gabulov.
1726: Bringthemonjpn on My Sport says: "Celtic don not need to go for the early goal. Slow the play down Bhoys. The left side is as open as a public park."
1717: Celtic have been unable to fashion a clear-cut chance. Tony Mowbray must be looking for more from his midfield.
1713: Shaun Maloney fires Celtic's first corner kick of the match into the box, but the Dinamo defence is alive to the danger and the ball is cleared. A chink of light for Tony Mowbray's men, though. The Russians look far from happy dealing with cross balls...
1710: Celtic midfielder Aiden McGeady is getting a lot of the ball, but has yet to deliver a telling cross. Dinamo Moscow coach Andrey Kobelev cuts a nervous-looking figure in the Dinamo dugout. Sporting a smart suit, he looks like he could be off to watch the fourth Ashes Test at Headingley!
1707: The Russians, just like in the first leg in Glasgow, are keeping their shape and proving difficult to break down. Neither goalkeeper has been called into action.
1705: Dinamo Moscow coach Andrey Kobelev said before the game that his side should use the 2005 Champions League final as evidence that Celtic could still win the tie. He said Liverpool's comeback from three nil down against AC Milan to win on penalties illustrated that anything's possible.
1702: Celtic have started in confident fashion, but Andreas Hinkel's cross is easily snuffed out by the blue ring of steel in front of Gabulov's goal.
1701: Ryan_Alyling on My Sport says "C'mon celtic 2-0 win will be perfect!" Join the debate
1700: We're under way!
1657: In the first leg, Celtic suffered from a lack of proper service from the flanks. Tony Mowbray will be looking for his full-backs, Aiden McGeady and Shaun Maloney to offer better service for Scott McDonald and Marc-Antoine Fortune.
1655: Actually, it's being played at the Khimki Stadium, my apologies!
1645: Dynamo Stadium, where Moscow normally play their home games, is being renovated. Tonight's game is being played at the Luzhniki Stadium, home of Spartak and CSKA Moscow.
Dinamo recorded a win there last season - their first in 20 years. So, it's not their favourite ground. A good omen? Join the debate
1640: For Dinamo, captain Dmitry Khokhlov, who missed the first game through suspension, comes into the side at the expense of teenage striker Alexander Kokorin, who scored the winner against Celtic.
1639: Danny Fox comes in for Lee Naylor at left-back for Celtic. Otherwise, Mowbray puts out the same side that lost at Celtic Park last Wednesday.
1632: The new Celtic manager Tony Mowbray has his work cut out in Russia. Trailing 1-0 from the first leg against Dinamo Moscow, Mowbray's men need to find their shooting boots. Join the debate
1630: Good evening and a very warm welcome to our coverage of Celtic's quest to qualify for this season's Champions League.
