Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Celtic FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Jules Ntcham has been relatively quiet despite scoring 27 goals in his last 429 appearances.
  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' Lewis Neilson, a Scotland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kristoffer Ajer made 429 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 26' That is a Yellow card for Celtic FC. Callum McGregor will be fuming at that decision.
  • 31' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 36' Celtic FC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Liam Scales scoring 1 goals.
  • 41' England international Calum Butcher has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 46' Ian Harkes is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Dundee United FC tonight.
  • 51' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Dundee United FC and Celtic FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 56' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nicky Clark, as he is very good at scoring at Tannadice Park with 9 goals in the last 7 games.
  • 60' Dundee United FC make a change. Lewis Neilson trudges off to be replaced by Kieran Freeman on 60 minutes.
  • 62' Mohamed Elyounoussi makes way for James Forrest at the 62 minute mark. A tactical switch from Celtic FC.
  • 65' The whistle greets Logan Chalmers as he departs to be replaced by Adrian Sporle.
  • 70' Dundee United FC is showing some good football. However, Dundee United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 74' Kristoffer Ajer has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jules Ntcham on 74 minute.
  • 79' Over 79 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.

  • 83' What a moment for Albian Ajeti! That strike on 83 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 83' A moment of madness from Scott Brown on 83 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Celtic FC will be frustrated.
  • 84' Poor challenge from Scott Brown. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
