Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Celtic FC gets underway.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Aberdeen FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Aberdeen FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' Celtic FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 30' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 35' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Celtic FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 40' Aberdeen FC is showing some good football. However, Aberdeen FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 43' Another substitution for Celtic FC to replace Odsonne Edouard by Scott Sinclair on 43 minute.
- 48' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 53' Gary Mackay-Steven, a Scotland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 58' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 60' Tom Rogic is replacing Jules Ntcham for the Celtic FC side.
- 62' Sam Cosgrove gets the nod from Aberdeen FC. He replaces James Wilson and will look to change the dynamic.
- 63' A goal from the England international Scott Sinclair! He fires home on 63 to make it 1-0!

- 76' A quiet spell here at . Aberdeen FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 77' Fresh legs for Celtic FC! Lewis Morgan comes on to replace James Forrest.
- 82' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Aberdeen FC that had 362 games and scored 369 goals.
- 84' Bruce Anderson gets the nod from Aberdeen FC. He replaces Niall McGinn and will look to change the dynamic.
- 89' Celtic FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Benjamin Nygren scoring 1 goals.
