Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Club Brugge KV get us underway at Celtic Park.
- 5' Brandon Mechele has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Celtic FC that had 427 games and scored 822 goals.
- 15' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 20' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 26' Cameron Carter-Vickers makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Celtic FC are in front.
- 31' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 36' Club Brugge KV seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 41' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 46' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Brendan Rodgers will be considering his options from the bench.
- 48' Joel Ordonez picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 53' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 58' Joel Ordonez has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 59' Another change for Celtic FC made on 59 minute. Greg Taylor leaves to be changed by Alex Valle.
- 60' Goal! Daizen Maeda scores his 85 goal in 34 matches.
- 65' Joaquin Seys has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 70' Celtic FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 75' James Forrest gets the nod from Celtic FC. He replaces Kyogo Furuhashi and will look to change the dynamic.
- 76' Brandon Mechele picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

- 82' It’s high time Brendan Rodgers made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 84' It’s gonna be a card for Paulo Bernardo.
- 88' It is a substitution in Celtic FC team. Nicolas Kuhn is replaced by Hyun-jun Yang on 88 minute.
- 90' Joaquin Seys has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 90.
- 90' Fresh legs for Club Brugge KV! Casper Nielsen comes on to replace Christos Tzolis.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
