Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Celtic Park that hosts another battle between Celtic FC and Motherwell FC.
  • 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Celtic FC and Motherwell FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 10' Celtic FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Benjamin Nygren scoring 1 goals.
  • 14' Motherwell FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 19' 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.
  • 24' 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 Harry Paton suffering a number of foals already.
  • 29' Motherwell FC come into this ranked 8 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 34' Callum Slattery has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
  • 39' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 41' That is a card for Motherwell FC. Stephen O'Donnell will be fuming at that decision.
  • 46' Another substitution for Celtic FC to replace Odin Holm by Hyun-Gyu Oh on 46 minute.
  • 51' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Motherwell FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 56' Motherwell FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 61' Jonathan Obika needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 64' Bevis Mugabi was booked on 64.
  • 67' David Turnbull has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kyogo Furuhashi on 67 minute.
  • 70' Greg Taylor has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 70.
  • 75' It looks like no one’s ball. Motherwell FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 78' Jonathan Obika has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mika Biereth on 78 minute.
  • 83' Motherwell FC is showing some good football. However, Motherwell FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
