  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Chris Maxwell made 378 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Celtic FC and Hibernian FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

  • 46' The Hibernian FC bench stirs into life. Ofir Marciano is withdrawn and Chris Maxwell gets his opportunity.
  • 51' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
