Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Celtic FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Anthony Ralston made 410 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Celtic FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Dundee FC backline.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Celtic FC that had 410 games and scored 790 goals.
- 20' Dundee FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' The travelling Dundee FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 30' It’s high time Tony Docherty made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Brendan Rodgers will be considering his options from the bench.
- 40' It is a cagey affair so far. Celtic FC in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Dundee FC's compact 5-4-1.
- 45' It looks like no one’s ball. Celtic FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 50' 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.
- 51' It’s a booking for Dundee FC player. Jon McCracken gets a card.
- 54' Celtic FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 54.
- 57' A change in the Celtic FC ranks — Luis Palma exits the field as Daizen Maeda enters on 57.
- 60' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Alistair Johnston makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 62' A change in the Celtic FC ranks — Hyun-jun Yang exits the field as James Forrest enters on 62.
- 63' Mo Sylla has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 63.
- 64' It’s gonna be a card for Juan Portales.
- 67' Arne Engels does the damage! The net is bulging and Celtic FC surge ahead!
- 68' The Dundee FC manager makes a substitution. Simon Murray departs to be replaced by Seb Palmer-Houlden.
- 73' The 23-year-old Lyall Cameron has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 76' The Celtic FC bench stirs into life. Cameron Carter-Vickers is withdrawn and Liam Scales gets his opportunity.
- 81' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Celtic FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 86' Sammy Braybrooke has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lyall Cameron on 86 minute.
- 90' Josh Mulligan picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Celtic FC players.
