Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Celtic Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Luiyi de Lucas made 251 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Brendan Rodgers might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 15' It is a cagey affair so far. Celtic FC in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Livingston FC's compact 3-4-2-1.
  • 20' Scotland international Jason Holt has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 25' Livingston FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 35' Alistair Johnston, a Canada , has 1 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 40' The travelling Livingston FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 42' Michael Nottingham is replacing Tom Parkes for the Livingston FC side.
  • 46' GOAL! Kyogo Furuhashi scores on 46.
  • 51' GOAL! Liam Scales scores on 51.
  • 56' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 61' The 27-year-old James Penrice has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 63' Celtic FC ring the changes. Daizen Maeda has done his job and it is now time for James Forrest to step up.
  • 65' Livingston FC make a change. Bruce Anderson trudges off to be replaced by Kurtis Guthrie on 65 minutes.
  • 67' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Jason Holt on 67 minutes.
  • 71' Hyun-Gyu Oh gets the nod from Celtic FC. He replaces Kyogo Furuhashi and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 76' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 80' The crowd applauds Paulo Bernardo as he leaves the pitch. David Turnbull steps in for Celtic FC.
  • 85' 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 Tom Parkes suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Celtic FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • Celtic FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
