The result leaves the Hoops relying on games elsewhere going their way if they are to have any chance of making it out of the group stage.
Tony Mowbray's side battled hard throughout the tie and but for Hamburg's keeper Frank Rost could have secured three points in the away tie.
Barry Robson blasted an early effort over from 16 yards before Celtic striker Scott McDonald twice was denied by Rost.
Celtic's own shot-stopper Lukasz Zaluska was also forced into action on numerous occasions to keep the home team at bay during the game, saving well from Marcus Berg, tipping a David Rozehnal header over the bar and watching Joris Mathijsen hit the bar from a corner.
Despite the relatively open nature of the game, neither side were able to find the net during the 90 minutes, leaving the Scottish team rooted to the bottom of group C.
To have any chance of progressing, Celtic must now hope to beat Hapoel Tel-Aviv at home and Rapid Vienna away, while praying Hamburg lose both their remaining fixtures.
