Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Pittodrie Stadium. Aberdeen FC are looking to make home advantage count against Celtic FC.
  • 5' Florian Kamberi, a Albania , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' A change in the Aberdeen FC ranks — Ross McCrorie exits the field as Calvin Ramsey enters on 15.
  • 18' What a moment for Lewis Ferguson! That strike on 18 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 23' With 1 assists to his name this season, Ross McCrorie is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Aberdeen FC.
  • 28' A quiet spell here at Pittodrie Stadium. Aberdeen FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 33' Odsonne Edouard has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 38' Aberdeen FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 43' Celtic FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.
  • 48' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 53' David Turnbull needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 58' Supporters expect more eagerness from Scott Brown, as he is very good at scoring at Pittodrie Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 61' The Celtic FC bench stirs into life. Odsonne Edouard is withdrawn and Leigh Griffiths gets his opportunity.
  • 66' Fresh legs for Aberdeen FC! Dylan McGeouch comes on to replace Callum Hendry.
  • 71' The home supporters are growing impatient. Aberdeen FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 76' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jonny Hayes suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' Karamoko Dembele gets the nod from Celtic FC. He replaces Scott Brown and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 85' It’s a booking for Celtic FC player. David Turnbull gets a Yellow card.
  • 90' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
