Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Hamilton Academical FC gets underway.
  • 5' It’s high time Neil Lennon made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 12' Goal! Leigh Griffiths scores his 25 goal in 410 matches.
  • 17' 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 Mohamed Elyounoussi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 22' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 27' Greg Taylor has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 32' It looks like no one’s ball. Celtic FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 37' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nir Bitton, as he is very good at scoring at Celtic Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 42' Celtic FC 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.
  • 47' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 47 minutes.
  • 48' What a strike from Odsonne Edouard! The score is 2-0.
  • 53' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Reegan Mimnaugh made 106 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 56' The supporters are chanting for Scott Martin. He replaces Marios Ogkmpoe on 56 minute.
  • 61' Hamilton Academical FC is showing some good football. However, Hamilton Academical FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 66' 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.
  • 69' The whistle greets Leigh Griffiths as he departs to be replaced by Albian Ajeti.
  • 70' It is a substitution in Celtic FC team. David Turnbull is replaced by Ryan Christie on 70 minute.
  • 74' The Hamilton Academical FC manager makes a substitution. Ben Stirling departs to be replaced by Andrew Winter.
  • 79' 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.
  • 84' 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' Another change for Celtic FC made on 86 minute. Odsonne Edouard leaves to be changed by Tom Rogic.
  • 87' The supporters are chanting for Reegan Mimnaugh. He replaces Ross Callachan on 87 minute.
  • Another three points for Celtic FC.
