Quick Review
Celtic almost took the lead early on when Stephen McManus saw his volley deflected on to the post by Leeds captain Gary Kelly.
Stanislav Varga headed against the bar for the home side while David Healy's long-range shot was Leeds' best effort.
Celtic opted to rest many of their senior players, with Chris Sutton, Neil Lennon, John Hartson and Stilian Petrov all left out.
But the home fans got their first glimpse of new signing Paul Telfer, and on-loan Polish goalkeeper Artur Boruc also impressed.
Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell used his entire squad of 19 players during the game, with only Shaun Derry completing the full 90 minutes.
