Events

Match Events

  • 0' Celtic FC have kicked off against Hamilton Academical FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Hamilton Academical FC that had 106 games and scored 94 goals.
  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 15' 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.
  • 17' It’s a booking for Hamilton Academical FC player. Scott Martin gets a Yellow card.
  • 20' Odsonne Edouard doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryan Fulton made 106 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 31' The deadlock is broken! Jeremie Frimpong gets on the scoresheet on 31 minutes.
  • 34' What a strike from Scott Martin! The score is 2-1.
  • 36' Ross Callachan has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 36.
  • 41' Marios Ogkmpoe, a Nigeria , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 42' Marios Ogboe has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ronan Hughes on 42 minute.
  • 47' Celtic FC have won 790 goals from 410 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 49' Magnificent from Odsonne Edouard! That is 98 goals in 410 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 53' GOAL! Odsonne Edouard scores on 53.
  • 55' Marios Ogboe is having his name booked by the referee on 55.
  • 60' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?

  • 70' The whistle greets Mohamed Elyounoussi as he departs to be replaced by Jules Ntcham.
  • 71' Time for substitution for Hamilton Academical FC. Ross Callachan is replaced by Charlie Trafford.
  • 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 Lewis Smith suffering a number of foals already.
  • 81' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 85' That is a Yellow card for Celtic FC. Greg Taylor will be fuming at that decision.
