Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Dundee FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The travelling Dundee FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' Dundee FC have won 184 goals from 187 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 15' 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.
- 20' 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.
- 25' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Celtic FC and Dundee FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 26' Daniel Mullen puts Dundee FC on the lead.
- 31' 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 Niall McGinn suffering a number of foals already.
- 34' A goal from the Greece international Giorgos Giakoumakis! He fires home on 34 to make it 1-1!

- 60' What an equalizer from Ryan Sweeney!
- 65' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 67' The whistle greets Daizen Maeda as he departs to be replaced by Tom Rogic.
- 72' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Anthony Ralston made 416 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 77' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
