Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Dundee United FC and Celtic FC has kicked off!
  • 5' Vicko Sevelj has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 8 appearances.
  • 10' Sam Dalby has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 2 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Kasper Schmeichel has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 25' Dundee United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 26' A moment of madness from Ryan Strain on 26 minutes earns him a card. Dundee United FC will be frustrated.
  • 31' Japan international Kyogo Furuhashi has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 36' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 41' named a 4-4-1-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 46' Celtic FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 51' Both keepers have barely been tested. Dundee United FC and Celtic FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 56' 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.
  • 59' Reo Hatate has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 59.
  • 61' Celtic FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Luis Palma is hanging Hyun-jun Yang on the field on 61 minute.
  • 62' Adam Idah has so much to prove this time. He replaces Luke McCowan on 62 minute.
  • 67' 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 Jack Walton suffering a number of foals already.
  • 72' Celtic FC have won 791 goals from 411 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 74' Time for substitution for Dundee United FC. Miller Thomson is replaced by Jort van der Sande.

  • 89' The referee shows Dundee United FC player a card on 89.
  • 90' Dundee United FC ring the changes. Sam Dalby has done his job and it is now time for Richard Odada to step up.
  • The final score is 0-0.
