Events

Match Events

  • 0' Celtic FC have kicked off against Hibernian FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Celtic FC and Hibernian FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 6' What a moment for Arne Engels! That strike on 6 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 11' Hibernian 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.
  • 16' Reo Hatate needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 21' Nicky Cadden has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 26' 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.
  • 27' A change in the Hibernian FC ranks — Mykola Kukharevych exits the field as Josh Campbell enters on 27.
  • 32' A quiet spell here at Celtic Park. Hibernian FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 37' Hibernian FC come into this ranked 11 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 41' Celtic FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 41.
  • 46' It is a substitution in Celtic FC team. Nicolas Kuhn is replaced by James Forrest on 46 minute.
  • 51' 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 Liam Scales suffering a number of foals already.
  • 54' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Joe Newell makes it 1-1.
  • 59' Nicolas Kuhn has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 64' Celtic FC have won 790 goals from 410 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 67' Another change for Celtic FC made on 67 minute. Adam Idah leaves to be changed by Kyogo Furuhashi.
  • 72' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 73' Reo Hatate is replacing Arne Engels for the Celtic FC side.
  • 78' The travelling Hibernian FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 81' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Josh Campbell.
  • 83' The Hibernian FC bench stirs into life. Lewis Miller is withdrawn and Chris Cadden gets his opportunity.
  • 84' Kyogo Furuhashi makes no mistake. The score reads 2-1 and Celtic FC are in front.
  • 84' That looks like a foul for a card for Warren O'Hora.
  • 89' The 28-year-old Luke McCowan has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-0.
