Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Tannadice Park will turn into a battlefield for Dundee United FC and Celtic FC.
  • 5' Dundee United FC have won 194 goals from 195 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' Kasper Schmeichel, a Denmark goalkeeper, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' It’s high time Jim Goodwin made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Dundee United FC and Celtic FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 26' That is a card for Dundee United FC. Ryan Strain will be fuming at that decision.
  • 31' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 36' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Jim Goodwin will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 41' Dundee United FC are deployed in a 4-4-1-1 today, looking to exploit space against Celtic FC's 4-3-3 shape.
  • 46' Over 46 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 51' Greg Taylor has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 56' 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 Miller Thomson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 59' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Reo Hatate.
  • 61' The supporters are chanting for Luis Palma. He replaces Hyun-jun Yang on 61 minute.
  • 62' Another substitution for Celtic FC to replace Luke McCowan by Adam Idah on 62 minute.
  • 67' 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.
  • 72' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 74' Jort van der Sande gets the nod from Dundee United FC. He replaces Miller Thomson and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 77' Celtic FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Paulo Bernardo is hanging Reo Hatate on the field on 77 minute.
  • 80' The supporters are chanting for Ross Docherty. He replaces Glenn Middleton on 80 minute.
  • 85' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 86' A tactical swap from Celtic FC — Arne Engels on, Daizen Maeda off on 86 minutes.
  • 89' Controversy at the stadium! Kristijan Trapanovski argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 90' The crowd applauds Sam Dalby as he leaves the pitch. Richard Odada steps in for Dundee United FC.
  • The final score is 0-0.
