Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Hamilton Academical FC and Celtic FC is underway.
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 13' That is a Yellow card for Celtic FC. Leigh Griffiths will be fuming at that decision.
  • 14' Controversy at the stadium! Alexandros Gogic argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 19' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Korede Adedoyin made 106 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 24' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 26' A stunning finish from Marios Ogboe — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 31' Fraser Forster has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 34' The referee has no hesitation. Jamie Hamilton is booked for Hamilton Academical FC — Red card on 34.
  • 35' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Odsonne Edouard makes it 1-1.
  • 36' It is a substitution in Hamilton Academical FC team. David Moyo is replaced by Shaun Want on 36 minute.
  • 41' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 43' A moment of madness from Aaron McGowan on 43 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Hamilton Academical FC will be frustrated.
  • 48' A quiet spell here at The Hope CBD Stadium. Celtic FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 53' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 58' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 62' Another substitution for Celtic FC to replace Jules Ntcham by Ryan Christie on 62 minute.
  • 64' Will Collar has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 64.
  • 64' The Hamilton Academical FC bench stirs into life. Will Collar is withdrawn and David Templeton gets his opportunity.
  • 66' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Greg Taylor.
  • 71' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 72' Jonny Hayes gets the nod from Celtic FC. He replaces Greg Taylor and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 76' Tom Rogic is ready to make an impact after coming on for Stephen Welsh at the 76 minute mark.
  • 78' Magnificent from Christopher Jullien! That is 10 goals in 420 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 81' Magnificent from Odsonne Edouard! That is 98 goals in 410 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 86' Both keepers have barely been tested. Hamilton Academical FC and Celtic FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-4 draw is a fair result on the day.
