- 0' The game is set. Celtic FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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 Josip Stanisic suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' 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.

- 40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Celtic FC that had 410 games and scored 790 goals.
