Celtic 0 Kairat Almaty 0: PLAYER RATINGS: Which home player stood out on a grim night at Parkhead? And who let another big chance in Europe pass him by?
Celtic skipper Callum McGregor had stressed in the build-up to this crucial Champions League play-off the importance of taking a healthy first-leg advantage to deepest Kazakhstan if the Parkhead side were to entertain hopes of another European run to be proud of. After an insipid 90 minutes at Celtic Park, however, there will be nothing but dread for Brendan Rodgers ' side ahead of their 8,000-mile round trip to Almaty next week. The failure to bring in the fresh blood many fans — and boss Rodgers — clearly craved ahead of the kick-off to their latest continental campaign now looks set to bite the Scottish champions where it hurts. A first-half injury to full-back Alistair Johnston was the last thing Rodgers needed with his problem positions piling up, and there was not one man in green and white who looked like they truly belonged at elite level on a night where the visitors did a professional job to plunder a precious advantage in the tie. Our man GARY KEOWN was on hand to pore over the second disappointing Champions League to hit Glasgow this week... CELTIC (4-3-3) Kasper Schmeichel 6.5 Didn't have a huge amount to do, but made no errors. Probably had Edmilson's ambitious effort covered. Alistair Johnston 6 Was asked some testing questions in early stages, but his removal on 35 minutes spells grim news for Celtic. Cameron Carter-Vickers 7 One slip allowed Edmilson to take a pop from distance, but he didn't do an awful lot wrong otherwise at the back. Liam Scales 7 Steady in defence and, always keen to contribute in an attacking sense, put a header over. Decent display. Kieran Tierney 6 Clearly going to be a big part of Celtic's attacking strategy, but nothing really came off before he was replaced late on. Reo Hatate 6 One great ball to set up Maeda for a shot at goal, but just didn't produce enough of the creative spark he's known for. Callum McGregor 5.5 A relatively quiet night for the Celtic skipper. Booked for a professional foul on Gromyko when stopping a breakaway. Benjamin Nygren 5.5 Got into good positions, but often got crowded out or made the wrong decision. Eventually replaced by Yamada. James Forrest 6 One slack first-half ball set up a chance for Jorginho, but he did force a good save after break. Replaced by Engels. Adam Idah 3 Not at the races and hooked at half-time for Yang. Another big chance to shine in Europe that simply passed him by. Daizen Maeda 6 Made a great run on 37 minutes and forced a save, but fluffed a great chance in time added-on. Brendan Rodgers 5 Spent £30m on Engels, Trusty, Bernardo and Idah. Needs new signings to offer way more. Under big pressure next week. Substitutes: Ralston (Johnston 35), Yang (Idah 46), Engels (Forrest 70), Trusty (Tierney 76), Yamada (Nygren 76). Kairat Almaty (4-3-3): Zarutskiy (Anarbekov 75); Mrynskiy, Martynovich, Sorokin, Glezer; Tapalov, Gromyko, Arad; Edmilson (Ricardinho 83), Satpaev, Jorginho.

'It's on us to go there and win'
Celtic captain Callum McGregor tells TNT Sports: "First half we were too slow and too passive."Second half we started well, on the front foot the whole half. We've still got another game, it's 0-0, we never lost. "We have to go there next week and win."The connections weren't quite there to get us through the middle. It's on us to go there and qualify now."We know how much everyone wants it. It's our job to work [through the anxiety in the stadium] and keep playing."

Standard Chartered faces FBI probe over claims it helped firms linked to Iran circumvent US sanctions
Standard Chartered is facing an FBI investigation and potential fines of billions of dollars after a British whistleblower's case was picked up by Donald Trump. Britain's fifth largest bank has been hit by more allegations that it helped companies linked to Iran's military and nuclear interests circumvent US sanctions. Standard Chartered has already been fined £1.5billion by the US authorities for breaching sanctions against Iran, through its US branch. But former bank executive Julian Knight claims it covered up the true scale of the breaches. Knight first revealed the allegations in the Daily Mail business pages six years ago and has fought a prolonged battle in the US courts with the bank and US government. Last week, Trump posted on his Truth Social account a story accusing New York's Democrat Attorney General Letitia James of ignoring Knight's treasure trove of bank data last year. The US President has targeted James, calling her a 'disgrace', after she successfully pursued Trump and his organisation for financial fraud, with a New York court handing out a £333million fine. Sean Buckley, the deputy US attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), has now revealed in an email to Knight's US lawyers that a file has been reviewed and passed onto the FBI. He wrote: 'SDNY and the FBI are committed to investigating these new potential sanctions violations. 'We and our partners at the FBI take such allegations very seriously.' The bank has consistently claimed that Knight, and his fellow whistleblower, American financier Bob Marcellus, had 'fabricated claims' to seek 'personal financial gain'. This is because under the US False Claims Act, whistleblowers are entitled to 15-30 per cent of any fines recovered from companies found to have defrauded the US federal government. They first handed over bank data to US regulators in 2012 but claim they have uncovered bank spreadsheets that showed vast amounts of 'concealed transactions with Iranian entities'. Last year, Knight and Marcellus and their legal team presented this evidence to US officials, including Chris D'Angelo, Letitia James' right-hand man at the New York Attorney General's office. Last night, Knight said: 'After 13 years, I feel vindicated and gratified that the Department of Justice has finally recognised the extreme importance of the information we provided in 2012.' Last night, a Standard Chartered source said that 'nothing has changed as far as we are concerned'.
