Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Celtic FC to score. At the same time, Livingston FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 16' What a moment for Jason Holt! That strike on 16 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 20' A stunning finish from Callum McGregor — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 23' A stunning finish from Ryan Christie — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 28' Lars Lokotsch has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 33' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 38' 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.
  • 43' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 48' Livingston FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 48.
  • 50' Livingston FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 52' What composure from Albian Ajeti! The Switzerland international strokes it home. 3-1.
  • 57' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Neil Lennon will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 62' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 67' 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 Vasileios Barkas suffering a number of foals already.
  • 69' The crowd applauds Craig Sibbald as he leaves the pitch. Scott Robinson steps in for Livingston FC.
  • 74' Nir Bitton is ready to make an impact after coming on for Hatem Abd Elhamed at the 74 minute mark.

  • 85' The supporters are chanting for David Turnbull. He replaces Jules Ntcham on 85 minute.
  • 88' A tactical swap from Livingston FC — Carlo Pignatiello on, Marvin Bartley off on 88 minutes.
  • 90' The referee shows Celtic FC player a Yellow card on 90.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-2.
