Celtic laboured to a draw in their first leg tie against Rosenborg and were fortunate not to concede leaving their Champions League qualification status hanging in the balance.
For all of Celtic’s dominance of possession in the opening 45 minutes, they struggled to create any clear cut chances.
James Forrest had two shots on goal blocked but the best chance for the Hoops in the opening half fell to Stuart Armstrong courtesy of an inch perfect through ball from Olivier Ntcham, but he too saw his shot on goal blocked.
Kristoffer Ajer was handed his first start for Celtic and blocked a dangerous shot by Rosenborg’s Milan Jevtovic from close range.
On 60 minutes as Bendtner held the ball up well and fed de Lanlay, who blazed high over the bar from eight yards out.
James Forrest came close 20 minutes from time but dragged his shot wide of the left hand post.
The Norwegian side had two further chances to score but were wasteful in front of goal, sparing Celtic’s blushes.
