Goalless at Parkhead

Shaun Maloney came closest to breaking the deadlock in the first-half of Celtic’s Champions League Group F match against Benfica at Parkhead.

The Hoops midfielder fired in a spectacular close-range volley after just two minutes only to be denied by Portuguese keeper Quim who tipped the ball over the bar for a corner.

The visitors survived the ensuing onslaught and came back into the game strongly towards the end of the first period with midfielder Konstantinos Katsouranis coming close with a header.
