Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: St. Johnstone FC gets underway.
  • 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 10' Charlie Gilmour has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 23' What a strike from David Turnbull! The score is 1-0.
  • 24' Odsonne Edouard has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 24 minutes.
  • 29' St. Johnstone FC have won 248 goals from 252 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 34' 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.
  • 39' Both keepers have barely been tested. Celtic FC and St. Johnstone FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 44' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 49' It looks surprising St. Johnstone FC does not make any changes. David Wotherspoon has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 54' 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 Chris Kane suffering a number of foals already.
  • 59' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Celtic FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 63' A tactical swap from Celtic FC — Ismaila Soro on, Scott Brown off on 63 minutes.

  • 79' The crowd applauds James Forrest as he leaves the pitch. Karamoko Dembele steps in for Celtic FC.
  • 83' The whistle greets Charlie Gilmour as he departs to be replaced by Alexander Ferguson.
  • 85' Karamoko Dembele adds to his 0 season tally! Celtic FC lead 4-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 86' Karamoko Dembele does the damage! The net is bulging and Celtic FC surge ahead!
  • 90' Another change for St. Johnstone FC made on 90 minute. Chris Kane leaves to be changed by John Robertson.
