Kairat 0-0 Celtic result - UEFA Champions League qualifier result as Daizen Maeda's miss means Hoops crash out

Temirlan Anarbekov was Kairat’s hero as Celtic crashed out of the UEFA Champions League with a 3-2 penalty shoot-out defeat following a drab 0-0 draw in Kazakhstan.

Scottish champions Celtic made the long trip to Almaty on the back of a poor display in the first leg last week, which also finished goalless.

And Brendan Rodgers’ team – who face Rangers this coming weekend – turned in another dismal performance, and ultimately got what they deserved as 21-year-old goalkeeper Anarbekov proved decisive in the shoot-out.

Daizen Maeda, who was fortunate not to concede a penalty for handball early in the second half, squandered a golden chance at the end of normal time, skying over when one-on-one with Kairat's keeper, and the forward was one of three Celtic players to see penalties kept out by Anarbekov.

Adam Idah and Luke McCowan also saw their spot-kicks saved by Anarbekov, who lunged to his right to parry out a weak attempt by Maeda to seal Kairat’s place in the Champions League proper for the first time in their history.

Martin O’Neill has been speaking on Amazon Prime: "It’s their own fault. They’re out of a competition they should be in. They had little moments, but there’s never been a sustained period where they put the opposition under pressure and you thought they would capitulate."

Brendan Rodgers' team got what they deserved. They will play in the UEFA Europa League next season.

Anarbekov is the hero for Kairat, with the 21-year-old making three saves in the shoot-out to eliminate Celtic and send his team into the Champions League!

Celtic were terrible, but Kairat are worthy winners. They were combative all night and finally got the job done in the shoot-out.

They are into the Champions League for the first time in their history, and they will be just the second team from Kazakhstan to play in the competition. Incredible!

Maeda has missed! Anarbekov makes another save, and Celtic crash out of the Champions League qualifiers!

What a penalty from Sorokin! He dispatches his finishes high into the right-hand corner. It's 3-2 to Kairat. And Maeda now has to score for the Bhoys.

He had to score that for Celtic to stay in this tie, and that he does!

This time, a dinked spot-kick works for the hosts, as Arad puts his penalty away, high down the centre.

Engels is Celtic's regular penalty taker, and it's easy to tell why as he sends the goalkeeper the wrong way with a cool finish into the left-hand corner.

Celebrating his 38th birthday in style, Martinovich puts his spot-kick away. It's 1-0 to the hosts.

Another Celtic spot-kick is saved, as Anarbekov again guesses the right away and palms away a tame effort from McCowan.

Celtic's dreadful performance has been carried into the shoot-out.

What in the world? Why is he trying that!

Gromyko goes for the Panenka, but gets far too much on his chip, and it clatters back off the crossbar. It's 0-0 in the shoot-out.

Idah steps up first, but his penalty is far too central and is saved!

There are around 400 Celtic fans in a small corner of the ground. And the penalties will be taken at that end of the stadium. Celtic will go first...

With the prize of Champions League qualification on the line.

Well, Celtic only have themselves to blame. Rodgers' team have been terrible across this tie, and as has seemed inevitable for a long time, penalties are going to be required.

Yep, we're heading to penalties.

Kairat make another switch, with Baybek coming on in place of Mata.

Having been picked out by a fantastic pass from McGregor, Maeda can't take the ball under his spell in the Kairat area.

It has been all Celtic in the past 10 minutes, but again a lack of quality when it matters most has let them down.
